My Take
What fascinates me about Woody Allen is the sheer durability of his voice. Across more than seven decades he has essentially made the same nervous, talkative, death-haunted comedy over and over, yet it never stops feeling distinct. As a writer he is, to my mind, untouchable; the record number of Original Screenplay wins and nominations only confirms what every page of Annie Hall already proves. His legacy is complicated by his relationship with Soon-Yi Previn, Mia Farrow's adopted daughter, and by Farrow's 1992 accusation that he sexually abused their daughter Dylan, which he denies and for which he was never charged, but purely as a student of screenwriting, I keep returning to his work the way musicians return to scales. It remains the grammar of the modern comic film.
