Culture news “I want to be worthy” Timothée Chalamet regrets having played in this film: the leading role does not want to hear about it anymore
The actor featured in Dune 2 would like a film he starred in to be buried in the sand forever.
A Woody Allen film
We have already mentioned, in the past, films, series or advertisements that certain Hollywood stars no longer support today for various reasons. Generally, it’s because the productions in question are broke, and they were made at a time when you had to find something to eat. This is not the case of the film we are going to talk about today, which was made by a well-known director, Woody Allen, with a solid budget, 25 million dollars, and which has real stars in its cast with Timothée Chalamet, Elle Fanning, Selena Gomez and even Jude Law.
Released in 2019, A Rainy Day in New York tells the story of two students who go to New York to spend a romantic weekend. However, there, the couple will consider separating. This dramatic comedy which was broadcast on Arte a few days ago, assassinated by the US/UK press (38/100 on Metacritic), is rather well received by French newspapers (with an average of 4/5 on Allocine). Its failure at the box office is due to the fact that it was not distributed in the United States because of the statements of Dylan Farrow, the adopted daughter of Woody Allen, who accused the director of sexual abuse which took place when She was seven years old.
