New York, Paris, Rome and Barcelona are an inseparable part of Woody Allen’s cinematic imagination. Now the American director wants to add a new name to that list: Madrid.
At 90, Allen is preparing a new film that is due to start shooting on 5 October. Although the plot and cast are still under wraps, one idea recurs in every description of the project: the Spanish capital will be far more than just a backdrop. Conceived as an ensemble romantic comedy, the film aims to turn Madrid into one of the main characters in the story, following in the footsteps of other cities that have left their mark on the director’s filmography.
