Woody Allen Interview in the LA WEEKLY
by Andre Soares
Three brief quotes from Scott Foundas‘ L.A. Weekly interview with Woody Allen:
"Scoop I found to be a trivial little Kleenex of a film - amusing, provided you like me and you like Scarlett [Johansson]. But it’s not worth much in the scheme of things. If you’re not doing anything on a hot afternoon and you want to get into the air conditioning, you can watch it."
"Cassandra’s Dream I thought was a good picture that people have not flocked to in any quantity at all. But I thought it was a completely engrossing movie, brilliantly acted by everybody, and I was very satisfied with it - much more satisfied than with other films of mine that have been much bigger successes."
"And Vicky Cristina Barcelona was a pleasant surprise to me. … I knew Penelope [Cruz] was going to be in it and I was pretty sure Javier [Bardem] was going to be in it, so when I was writing it, I had the two of them in mind. Scarlett I think of for everything because she’s great, so I was just lucky she was available and I could get those two women in the film and juxtapose them."
