***I agree about the Woody Allen soundtracks,in fact, I like them better than the films.But Eric, aren't you a bit too hard on the old man Woody?
What I mean is he is no Bergman (although being able to hire Sven Nykvist is a sure mark of recognition... I doubt Sven would ever work for Spielberg) and no Fellini, but isn't he easily the best American director at the moment?
Certainly we should not consider Woody in such company as Riddley Scott or George Lucas?
That in itself is not small achievement in my book. I presume it is one thing to produce thoughtful films in the shaddow of Cinecitta, and quite another under the relentless pressure to conform from the worst of Hollywood.
