Disgraced filmmaker was debuting his new film Coup de Chance at the Venice Film Festival
During the press conference, Allen, who is 87 years old, was joined onstage by his Italian cinematographer, Vittorio Storaro , and his French actresses Lou de Laage and Valerie Lamercier.
He was queried about his screenwriting habits, about writing a film in French, about the role luck has played in his career, and about penning roles for men versus women. He conceded that he’s “been lucky my whole life,” and has never, ever been admitted to a hospital. He said he shot his recent picture, a thriller of sorts, in France, because he wanted to join the ranks of the European filmmakers he idolized growing up, like Truffaut and Renoir.
