As in making the same movie over and over again? I'm not a
great fan of Bergman but I recognize an intelligence at work
that I don't appreciate as much as others. As much as I don't
like Truffaut, putting him on a par with Woody Allen is
insulting in the extreme. Woody Allen is a fluffy joke, a
charlatan, a poser and a fraud. And that has nothing to do
with his personal life as I really like much of Roman
Polanski's work so let's not go there. Woody Allen, to me, is
like imitation banana flavoring: tinny, sickly sweet, and
nothing like the real thing.
