A Rainy Day in New York

Synopsis

A loving couple of students from very wealthy families come to New York for the weekend. Ashley (Elle Fanning) is due to interview a very famous director for the student newspaper, while Gatsby (Timothee Chalamet) has decided to accompany his girlfriend to show her New York. Since we are dealing with a Woody Allen film, this weekend will not go according to plan – Ashley will find herself in the abyss of filmmaking, and a desperate Gatsby will have a real odyssey through the city in which he was born. All the action takes place against the backdrop of the scenery of a beautiful rainy New York.

• A Rainy Day in New York is one of the most scandalous films in the filmography of director Woody Allen. Filmed back in 2017, this movie became another victim of the #MeToo movement when the press again spoke about accusations against Woody Allen of sexual harassment. With its premiere delayed by a year and a half, this film only reached theaters on July 26, 2019. However, A Rainy Day in New York was not released in the US.
• Due to the scandal, many actors regretted being in Woody Allen’s film. As for Timothee Chalamet and Rebecca Hall, these actors have donated their royalties to charities. Woody Allen’s autobiographical writings indicate the true reason for this act – nominated for an Oscar for his lead in “Call Me by Your Name” movie, Chalamet wanted to impress film academics.
