“Since I was a baby my goal was to be on TV because film was just impossible - you never got any Asian women in Western cinema. I grew up wanting to be in 'East-Enders' because film wasn't even a dream. The community were very much like, 'How can you want to act?

“There are some films that arrive here from the international festival circuit almost incandescent with self-importance. They hover into the cinema in a kind of floating trance at how challenging and moving they are. They are films with a profound reluctance to get over themselves. They look up at the sceptical observer with the saucer-eyed saintliness of a baby seal in culling season, or a charity mugger smilingly wishing a nice day on the retreating back of a passer-by. One such is Babel.” LooksKindSelfFilmMovingWishChallengesNiceBabySeasonsImportanceProfoundCharityInternationalCinemaLook UpGet OverFloatingObserversFestivalsSealsCircuitsTranceSelf-importanceReluctanceNice DayBabelMuggersCulling Author:Peter Bradshaw
“On this side of the Atlantic, the arrival of a new Woody Allen movie is always greeted with tremors of bliss by filmgoers past the age of 60, with mild curiosity by those in their 50s, with trepidation by those in their 40s, with fear and loathing by those in their 30s, and with complete indifference by anyone younger. An icon to baby boomers, who will never concede that when something is over, it is really over (Clapton, McCartney, Santana, the 1960s), Allen has not made a truly memorable film since Bullets On Broadway back in 1994.” MadeAgePastFilmSidesBabyCuriosityIndifferenceBlissMemorableOver ItBulletsBroadway1960sIconsArrivalsLoathingWoodyBoomersFear And LoathingBaby BoomerTrepidationSantanaWoody Allen Movie Author:Joe Queenan

“I was at one of the lowest points of my life when we started this film [Dream of Life], except, of course, that I had two great children.
