#53. Nero Fiddled
Director/Writer: Woody Allen
Producers: Letty Aronson, Steve Tenenbaum, Giampaulo Letta and Faruk Alatan
Distributor: Sony Pictures Classics
The Gist: Loosely inspired by Giovanni Boccaccio’s The Decameron, a collection of 100 bawdy novellas written in the 14th century, the film is expected to feature four vignettes, two stories involving Italian characters in Italian and two in English involving American characters in Rome…(more)
Cast: Ellen Page, Woody Allen, Jesse Eisenberg, Alison Pill, Penélope Cruz, Alec Baldwin, Greta Gerwig, Roberto Benigni, Judy Davis, Ornella Muti, Riccardo Scamarcio, Carol Alt, Isabella Ferrari, Maricel Álvarez, Flavio Parenti
List Worthy Reasons…: We never get tired of Woody and Woody never gets tired of making movies. These extended euro-vacation has definitely given us plenty to cheer about with Vicky Cristina Barcelona being his best so far we can hope that a bit of Penelope Cruz and a bit of everyone else (international cast plus Greta Gerwig meets Italians) will make for some ecstasy-filled, emotionally weighty comedic scenes.
Release Date/Status?: For an umpteenth consecutive year, Woody will showcase this in Cannes and Sony Pictures Classics will attempt to repeat the same winning formula they had with Midnight in Paris.
