New research focus
I have decide to switch my focus slightly from lack of real auteurs in Hollywood to the auteurs that are still around and are not appreciated enough. I have chosen Woody Allen as the auteur to focus on as he has been making films for a long time so there is a lot of material to study. Also the fact that he has not stopped making movies his own way after all these years, or changed himself in any way for fame shows his passion for films. The focus film I will discuss is To Rome With Love (2012) which was written and directed by Allen. This is proof that he still aims to make great movies in his unique style today without compromising . My two other films I will research are Manhattan (1979) as this is a romantic film too but quite early in his career, and Midnight in Paris(2011) as it is a modern romantic film written by Allen. It has been compared to To Rome With Love as it follows a young couple in a beautiful romantic city and has tones of neorealism too.

Sabina - could you look at your blog design and get the date visible for your posts? Also, I have to admit, I'm not a fan of this format - it makes reading your blog and archive difficult. Can you change it please (see previous request...). You need to get more on here in the meantime - start primary research with detailed textual analysis, and lots of secondary materials. There is loads out there on Woody Allen. We need to discuss your title - it could be specific to the idea of romance in Allen's films, or something like - Woody Allen: maverick director. Get more images and other multi media content on here too.
