This is not an autobiography of any kind. The character's own story is certainly part of it, but it's not the whole story. As impressive as Woody Allen's cinema is, it doesn't make for such a pleasure to read a 534-page pamphlet that's not divided into parts or chapters. Not a work of memory, but a work of entertainment. The director once again takes on the role of writer to romanticize a life that is as hilarious as it is ridiculous, and therefore touching. To read Soit dit en passant is to have a good time laughing and bonding with the main character.

Initially scheduled for release in 2018, when it was thought to have been buried in the wake of accusations of sexual assault levelled at its director Woody Allen, A Rainy Day in New York arrives in cinemas. And, even though the affair reignited by the #MeToo movement dates back to 2013, for viewers the situation is tricky. Should we boycott the filmmaker and his work, following the example of certain protagonists who, according to rumor, donated their entire salary to an association that helps victims of sexual harassment? Or, on the contrary, rely on the presumption of innocence still enjoyed by the accused, since no real charges have yet been laid?
