And if you love movies and series in genres like romance and comedy, then SCEEN IT is the place to be. The mostly-set-over-one-day plot sees Yardley college sweethearts Gatsby Welles (Timothe Chalamet in Woody alter-ego mode) and wannabe journalist Ashleigh Chance events that drive a plot, which Allen first latched onto in Match Point (2005), are in evidence again in A Rainy Day. They bring Gatsby and Chan together in the first place, and the second. Their third and conclusive meeting, though not exactly planned, realises a conversation they have on the Saturday about the Delacorte Clock in Central Park. Once Ashleigh has ridden off alone in the horse-drawn cab, rainfall resumes and Chan appears by the clock. The film ends with her and Gatsby kissing for real. And, in the tradition of seasoned bedroom farce, she finds herself both stripped of her clothes and her dignity. A Rainy Day in New York From the Bing Crosby opening number and through the many lovely jazz selections of Erroll Garner, the tone of it all is very genial. Gatsby (what a great character name and played by Timothee Chalamet) is a student at Yardley College in upstate New York. Two films ago, with Caf Society, Woody Allen opened Cannes. Its tempting to suspect that these four actors, when they decided to work with Woody Allen, werent so much ignorant as unconcerned about the Dylan Farrow controversy and to deride their subsequent reactions as fashion-conscious. But theres no doubt either that Allen does a good job in this film of vindicating their professed moral stand: A Rainy Day isnt short of dismaying, even brazen misogyny embodied chiefly in the character and experiences of Ashleigh, whos not like the nymphets whove made the heros life worth living in some other Allen movies. Shes more a rehash of a young woman from a Hollywood era that predates Woody Allen (or his films, at any rate), adjusted to fit into his universe. Her hyper-self-awareness is a faint echo of Annie Hall; her tendency to get hiccups whenever shes sexually conflicted gives a Woody-Freudian twist to the kind of complaint from which a screwball comedy girl might suffer. Allen has it in for Ashleigh from the start. When Gatsby describes her to Chan, the latter is amused and derisive about someone shes never met knowing Ashleighs an Arizona bankers daughter is enough and Chans fellow New Yorker Allen seems to share that view. Hes written Ashleigh as an enthusiastic airhead. She gushes idiotically to Roland Pollard about her love of movies: Pollards own, though Ashleigh admits she didnt understand her favourite among them; more generally, all the American classics, especially the European ones.
