".......Allen, who has worked with the French tourist office before, has a long
affinity with the European country. At last year's Cannes Film Festival he
defended French culture and countered claims from US Jewish groups that the country
was prone to anti-Semitic feeling......."

No suprise there...he's done a Zelig in becoming a Frenchman.
No doubt his seduction of a paramour's adopted daughter (along with the age
difference) earned him lots of style points with the French elites.

And I say all that having grown up as a great fan of Allen's work.

...........His defense of France is timely: In 2002's "Hollywood Ending," Allen plays a filmmaker whose latest movie bombs at home and is a hit in France. His agent tells him: "Here, you're a bum, there you're a genius."

The filmmaker responds: "Thank God the French exist."
