In a recent interview, Woody Allen talked about how his daughter Dylan Farrow's sexual assault allegations against him affects his career and about cancel culture. Allen told The Wall Street Journal that he has not sexually assaulted his adopted daughter while mentioning the pushback he has faced from Hollywood following the accusations. Many film personalities, including Greta Gerwig, Michael Caine, and Colin Firth, revealed that they do not wish to collaborate with Allen any longer in light of the allegations. Allen described cancel culture as just a "dumb" move.

The filmmaker has vehemently refuted the allegations that he sexually molested his daughter as she was a seven-year-old. He has responded to the accusations in his memoir, titled Apropos of Nothing, where he claimed that his daughter became convinced about the sexual assault as Mia Farrow, her mother, sang 'Daddy in the Attic' to her. That said, Dylan Farrow maintained her stance in a recent statement to the aforesaid publication.

Allen also revealed that actors who choose not to collaborate with him think that they are playing a part in a greater cause but are "making a mistake" instead. His erstwhile collaborators may have looked beyond Allen, but the filmmaker is not "angry" about it. "I would think they would have more common sense, when they read about the situation. What surprises me, always, is how ready and willing people are to embrace it," he said.

Allen's last film is Coup de Chance, his first in French, starring Lou de Laâge, Valérie Lemercier, Melvil Poupaud, and Niels Schneider.
