Woody Allen

What makes a Woody Allen film a Woody Allen film

Across 50 films, they run much more cerebral, somewhat more ambiguity and somewhat more romance than films in general. Their films resemble each other far more than any 50 films picked at random would, which is what makes one recognisable before anybody says who directed it.

The line down the middle is the average film. A bar to the right means more of that reading than films in general, to the left less. Drawn from every film of theirs in the catalogue, not a selection.
