After being one of the most beloved writer/directors of the 1970s and 80s, Woody Allen continued his success in the 90’s where five of his ten films received some form of Academy Award nomination. However, by this point critics had started to question his process of writing and directing a film every year and suggested it was beginning to take a toll on the quality of the end product.
Popular consensus on the quality of his work also declined as the millennium turned. It took until 2011’s ‘Midnight in Paris’ for one of his films to be universally regarded as a return to form. Not least because it also saw Allen himself win Best Original Screenplay at the Academy Awards for the first time since ‘Hannah and Her Sisters’ in 1987. In financial terms, it became his most successful picture to date, showing that the cinema-going public loved it too.
