Last night I watched Broadway Danny Rose and was impressed by the quality of the story and the filming. I have stayed away from Woody Allen since the Soon-Yi scandal, but on return, I have to admit to the quality of his work. To comfort me in his real life, I learned that Allen has been married to Soon-Yi for 16 years. It's still distasteful, but seems less like incest and more like a real relationship. As a caveat, his biological son won't see him.
So, is it okay for me to enjoy his work and deplore his actions? Do I deplore his actions? Soon-Yi was 19 when the affair began, and 20 when it was discovered. That doesn't sound like he could have coerced her into an unwanted relationship. I don't know the answers to my earlier questions. I just know that I want to see more of his films.
