Despite the wide variance in his films, a common fallacy about Woody Allen movies is that they are all the same. They will feature an older experienced artist who meets a younger woman that, for some unexplained reason, falls in love with him. Along the way the movie will comment pithily on art and life and the impossibility of love against a beautiful backdrop filmed by a notable cinematographer, but the whole thing will be ultimately vacuous. Fortunately for Allen, with a few possible exceptions, this formula is a pretty wild misconception.
