woody allen Past and Present 5 weekswhen woody Allen first began makingmovies in the late sixties (Bananas,Take the Money and Run), he became a heroic voice of the counter-culturewho satirized popular stereotypes ofwasp ideals and images. He continuedto be an artist of his time through Loveand Death and Sleeper, but after thesuccess of Annie Hall (Academy Award, Best Picture), he began todoubt that voice. He started makingsolemn dramas (Interiors, Anotherwoman) as opposed to comedies.while he continues to work on his ownterms, audiences still wait and hopeand respond - as they did with Midnight in Paris.
