If you were led blindfolded into a cinema and unaware of what movie you were seeing, I still think that if it was a Woody Allen film, within 20 minutes you¡¯d know it.
The Brooklyn native makes movies that are stamped with his own signature style, and the latest to reach Japan is ¡°Cafe Society,¡± his 47th film, and one in which he also does the voice-over narration.
Having already cemented his position as one of American cinema¡¯s most revered auteurs, the 81-year-old Allen is the king of his castle and has never shown much interest in venturing outside of its confines. With ¡°Cafe Society,¡± though, he concedes a little, a cautious foot out the door if you will.
