“If my films don't show a profit, I know I'm doing something right.” He began his career as a comedian in the 50's collaborating as a scriptwriter in television programs and newspaper columns. In the early 60's he began acting and doing stand-up performances that prompted him to move into the film with his debut "What's up, Lily Tiger?" (1966), although "Take the money and run" (1969) is popularly recognized as his first film. Neurotic, hilarious and existential, Woody Allen has one of the most abundant filmographies of modern cinema, at the rate of almost one film per year representing the conflicts of the upper middle class, intellectual and psychoanalyzed, always preserving its tints of absurd humor and self-referentiality. He has four Oscar Awards, three for Best Original Screenplay thanks to "Annie Hall" (1978), for which he also received the award for Best Director, "Hannah and her sisters" (1987), and "Midnight in Paris" (2012). In 2002 he was awarded the Honorary Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. He has also developed as a literary writer with fiction and autobiographical publications.
