, where he managed to avoid any questions about the sexual abuse allegations made against him by his daughter Dylan Farrow. That was largely thanks to his longtime cinematographer, Italian superstar Vittorio Storaro, who spoke for nearly a third of the press conference, all while answering a single question.
When he was able to get a word in, Allen was asked if he would consider making another film in New York. The director revealed that he’s got “a very good idea for New York,” but it depends on “if some guy steps out of the shadow and says ‘we’ll finance your film in New York’ and obey all my restrictions.” He concluded: “If some foolish person agrees to that, then I will make the film in New York.”
The press conference was also attended by Lou de Laage and Valerie Lemercier, the stars of his French-language movie, “Coup de Chance,” which premieres out of competition today.in Venice, Allen said he considered retiring after this film. “I have so many ideas for films that I would be tempted to do it, if it was easy to finance. But beyond that, I don’t know if I have the same verve to go out and spend a lot of time raising money.
