Director Woody Allen     is not a fan of the big     blockbusters being minted out of Hollywood. The 79-year-old director, who helms one-movie-a-year, was in Cannes International Film Festival with his 46th feature film Irrational Man, believes such movies are “big time wasters”. “I think it’s terrible,” he told Deadline about sequels. “I think movies have gone terribly wrong … and the big blockbusters for the most part are big time wasters. I don’t see them. I can see what they are: eardrum-busting time wasters. I think Hollywood has gone in a disastrous path. It’s terrible,” Allen said.
The four-time Academy award-winning director is known for his gloomy world-view and in the interview he also touched upon how he still struggles as a creator.
“The constant desire to do something great and the knowledge that it’s not really in me. You do not have greatness in you; you’re not Kurosawa, or Fellini. You’re a comic turned film director with a modest talent to amuse, to entertain. But true greatness is not in you.” “I never saw Annie Hall again, or Bananas or Manhattan or any of them. Because, you can only have regrets. If I was to screen any of my films now I would only see what I could have done, what I did badly, where I screwed up, how much worse it is than the way I remembered it. You’re never going to think ‘Oh, God, this thing is great.’ (PTI)
