the thread for NY comedy filmmakers (and others') homages to peak-period Woody Allen

reading about Louis CK's new film made me think of how many of these there are, practically a subgenre unto itself:
- When Harry Met Sally (the earliest one of these?)
- Top Five
- Frances Ha (feel like a bunch of Baumbach's fit here but this one is the most on-the-nose)
- various episodes of Girls (pick one)

extra points if it's shot in black-and-white

Trying to think if Polanski has anything

Carnage!

granted there's only a few laughs in that one, I wouldn't really call it a comedy

Wasn't there one....actually come to think of it I think jack Nicholson was behind the camera

Nicholson's only directed four films, three of which predate Allen's peak period and the last of which was The Two Jakes in 1990, so not sure what you're thinking of (Carnal Knowledge maybe?)

Heh

Carnage is most definitely a comedy/satire, tho a semi-botch of a film. Not really Allenesque though (playwright is a French woman, don't know if she's a fan).

Ed Burns is probably the worst at this, starting with The Brothers McMullen... tho I didn't subject myself to the follow-ups.

yeah I wouldn't argue too hard for it. I was trying to unravel the mysteries of darraghmac's thinking, probably a futile exercise.

xp

Heh

set in my town but Miami Rhapsody is drenched in Allen.

well, Mia Farrow's in it so that counts for something

Louis CK just made a very blatant one?

That's mentioned in OP no

ulp

In the film, C.K. plays a successful TV producer whose 17-year-old daughter (Chloe Grace Moretz) begins a relationship with Malkovich's aged director. It spawns a kind of crisis for C.K.'s character, who has his own issues with how he treats women.

The Guardian called it "a very funny and recklessly provocative homage to Woody Allen, channeling his masterpiece 'Manhattan' and brilliantly finding a fictional way to tackle his personal reputation head-on."

Btw Οὖτις darragh is referring to the fact that Polanski raped a 13-year-old at Nicholson's house

Wait I mean

lads

ah, didn't know the location of that incident

The Paul Rudd segment from The Ten, iirc?

"I Love You, Daddy" sounds pretty gross idk if I want to see that

The Ten

wtf how have I never heard of this before!

Wait I mean

lads

otm

ah, didn't know the location of that incident

also confused by Polanski rape predating Allen's peak period but whatever, typical darragh derail

Modern Romance

i've been watching Mr. Show and halfway through the Nostradamus skit it goes into a full Woody Allen pastiche complete w black and white "archival" footage and title cards

wow just watched "The Ten" and the whole thing feels like a pastiche of Allen's *earlier* comedic style - heavily endebted to the structure and tone of stuff like Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex, Sleeper, Love and Death, his NY Stories segment. It isn't really much good but I was surprised to see Wain & co. go so hard in that direction.
