HOMAGE TIME- ALLEN DOES ANTONIONI



In Everything you always wanted to know about sex but were afraid to ask Woody Allen directs a segmant that beautifully homages Antonioni. It stars Allen and Louise Lasser as lovers with issues and their efforts to solve them, this is done alongside some great pieces of Italian new wave imagery. It's spoken in Italian, filmed exactly how an Antonioni movie would be and is a perfectly realised piece of cinema; funny too.





There is a similar piece in Play it again Sam where Allen also references Italian Cinema
