I loved this movie so much. An absolute delight.

[@wavebreaker2520]

Woody's best film ever, bar none. It's brilliant.

[@manny44]

definitely his most underrated. It's sooo funny.

[@mabonman]

I literally just watched it. I found it utterly hilarious and heartbreaking. I'm a 30 yr old lead guitar player/multi instrumentalist/composer since I was 12 hahaha ... not on such a dramatic level but was definitely drawing a few comparisons ... XD
Also a big film craft nut, and agreed, defo the best woody film I've seen yet!!

[@alexxpopalexx9728]

one of my favourite films !! ❤ Love this film ! Thank you, Mr. Allen for so many beautiful movies !

Hi, great video! That’s me pulling focus behind Woody and Zhao Fei at 4:55.
Just wanted to point out that Fei did speak some English - not fluently, but enough to communicate with us. He hated using the translator.
It was pretty surreal when that whole scenario turned up as a plot device in “Hollywood Ending”.

I love Sweet & Lowdown! Sean Penn's performance is stunning! He took guitar lessons and played amazingly in the film. The movie is sad, funny, sweet and melancholic.

[@larryscheller2476]

Sean Penn didn't play he faced it .
Howard Alden played the guitar parts Penn pretends to play.

I have a notion to second that emotion ! This film, "Interiors" & "Crimes and Misdemeanors" are my three favorite Woody Allen movies.

[@honestjohn3865]

Yeah, he definitely wasn’t actually playing

[@honestjohn3865]

He took guitar lessons to better mime playing guitar

[@accuser_of_the_brethren7816]

Yessir, he did what Ralph Machio did for Crossroads as well as Johnny Depp (who plays guitar but not as good as in the movie) for Chocolat. They call it "facing/mirrored/fuddled" however, they all did a great job in my opinion. I think gypsy jazz would be the most difficult to even pretend to play 😆

[@jubalcalif9100]

VERY interesting video ! THANKS so much for sharing ! Quite informative & entertaining !

[@JustinSpakable]

I love this film. At the time, id been playing guitar for 2 yrs and this movie was such an inspiration and reaffirmation that I wasn't crazy. But all guitarists are

[@dothetruffleshuffle6233]

I love this movie,the jazz music and Django Reinhardt. Haha i actually found a copy of this movie along with a bunch of others at Dollar Tree. Just couldn't believe they were selling it there for just a dollar as i don't usually see dvd's at a store like that.

[@Chockner]

The only time Woody Allen plays himself in a film? Puh-leez.

[@patricedecourcy4505]

One thing: it's Federico, not Frederico Fellini. This series is great! Thanks.

[@LanDred1]

Great!

[@davidlevy4291]

My opinion.....His last masterpiece

[@mostaffaali3802]

What's the name of the guitar track playing on the very first credits?!!

[@Emmett2000]

When Day is Done - Django Reinhardt
