Romance whose release was cancelled by
Amazon set to enjoy highest-profile platform to date, ahead of distribution in
France,
Italy and elsewhere
A Rainy Day in
New York, Woody Allen’s romantic
comedy dropped by distributor Amazon in the wake of the #MeToo movement, is to open the Deauville
American film festival next month.
The film, which stars Timothée Chalamet and Elle Fanning, will have its highest profile booking so far at the festival, which begins on 6 September. Shot in 2017, the movie, about a young couple’s inauspicious weekend break in Manhattan, fell victim to the taint of a renewed accusation of molestation by Allen made by his adopted daughter, Dylan Farrow.
