Woody Allen’s beleaguered new film recently topped the global box office, further cementing the status of its main star as cinema’s latest heartthrob
Those seeking explanations as to how Woody Allen’s A Rainy Day in
New York topped the global
box office a few weeks ago, despite two years of delays, disavowals and reputation-shredding allegations of
Sexual Assault against the film-maker (Allen denies all charges), might want to take a look at the posters for A Rainy Day’s release in
South Korea. They are essentially a Timothée Chalamet
fashion shoot. Here he is looking dapper in a tweed blazer, holding an umbrella, sitting alone in a bar, closing the door of a yellow taxi – wisps of wet hair streaking artfully across his forehead. It’s not Allen’s name that is drawing people in, it’s Chalamet’s.
