As a child, Woody Allen was concerned about three things: baseball, magic and murder. And on this last tour the grounds of “unreasonable man”, a film in which the filmmaker explores infidelity and mortality in equal measure.

Allen, director of more than 45 films, admitted to the press that every so often choose to write the script for a film about a murderer without remorse. “I’m interested in serious stories as” Crime and Punishment “and” Macbeth “but also movies of Alfred Hitchcock, who are very well done,” he said, adding: “It’s a subject that interests me, I like to read and see. The narrative content is important, I like my films have substance. When I shot “Match Point” was not just a movie to watch on the plane, he said something else.
