Where I run into trouble is when someone tries to tell you what’s wrong with it. They should just not like it. It’s hard to explain why something is wrong. Just say you don’t like it, and leave it at that.”<br /><br />-- Woody Allen, from Woody Allen By Kathie Coblentz, Robert E.

While I'm sure many may have good ideas about what his films are about, there's no doubt that an artist of Woody's calibre is ahead of the public in terms of their overall meaning and depth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
