Cannes | more Woody video

Here's better quality video from the end of the lunch for Woody Allen's "Vicky Cristina Barcelona."  Before Woody, Penelope Cruz said she told her agent she wanted to be in a Woody Allen movie no matter what. 

The video below begins with Woody's answer on why he doesn't shoot in New York anymore and goes on from there.

It's also an accurate window into these press sitdowns - a mix of good questions, terrible ones, and overly fawning journos wrapping their question into a sugar-coated compliment. 

Nevertheless, Woody is good. 
"I'm still a militant Freudian atheist.  It's still very pessimistic and terrifying and grim and meaningless and chaotic.  You'll see it in my next film.  It's clearly stated.  And you can imagine the box office."
(He speaks softly.  Use headphones.)
