Za film tedna sem izbrala komedijo iz leta 2006 pod imenom Scoop, mojstrovino Woody Allena, ki ga verjetno ni potrebno posebej predstavljati.
Sam začetek filma, ki prikazuje novinarja Joe Strombela kako potuje v onostranstvo, pri čemer hoče podkupiti smrt, me je nasmejal do solz. In tu se zgodba začne, ko novinar v pogovoru s še eno popotnico izve, da je ta bila žrtev množičnega morilca, bogatega aristokrata Petra Lymana, javnosti znanega kot »Tarot card killer«. Glede nato, da gre za novinarja, ki je pripravljen storiti vse za informacijo senzacijskega značaja, stopil kot duh v stik s študentko novinarstva Sondro Pransky in čarovnikom Sidom Watermanom, ki nato razkrivata morilca.
Genialna komedija vrhunskega ustvarjalca, čigar delo me fascinira ne samo skozi sliko odnosov, ki jih prikaže na duhovit in absurden način, ampak v njegovih delih se pretaka posebna začimba, ki izvrstne dialoge, dovršenost časa in ritma filma podkrepi s čutno fotografijo, in vse to skupaj tvori zanimiv svet, v katere nas popeljejo njegovi filmi. Kot zanimivost naj samo omenim, da sem pred časom sanjala Woody Allena, ki mi je v sanjah pokazal njegov novi film; in ko sem si film ogledala, sem se obrnila k njemu totalno fascinirana nad filmom in mu rekla »Stari, to je tvoj najboljši film do zdaj!«

For the movie of the week, I chose comedy from 2006, Scoop, Woody Allen’s masterpiece, who probably does not need an introduction.
At the very beginning of the film, showing the journalist Joe Stromb and his travel to the other side, while he wants to bribe death, made me laugh to tears. And here the story begins when a reporter talking to another voyager discovers that she was the victim of a mass murderer, a wealthy aristocrat Peter Lyman, known as »Tarot Card Killer.« Given that it is a journalist who is willing to do all when he gets a sensational type of information, the journalist made a contract as a ghost with a student of journalism Sondra Pransky and wizard Sid Waterman, who then start to reveal the true identity of the killer.
Fantastic work of a great artist, whose work fascinates me not only through the story of relationships, which appears to be humorous and absurd in the same way but his work has this special ingredient, that reflects through dialogues, time and rhythm of the film and of course sensual photography, combining all together forming an interesting world of Woody Allen.
Not long ago, I dreamed about Woody Allen, in the dream he was showing me his new movie and at the end I turned to him, fascinated by what I have seen and said to him: »Dude, this is your best movie so far!«
