Arriving on the Venice Film Festival, the 87-year-old was met with boos and protesters chanting “no rape culture” as scuffles between them and safety broke out with a quantity making an attempt to get onto the crimson carpet.

Nevertheless, the filmmaker ended up getting a standing ovation from journalists throughout a press convention.

Asked by Variety what his response was to Dylan’s accusations that he sexually abused her, Allen mentioned: “My reaction has always been the same. The situation has been investigated by two people, two major bodies, not people, but two major investigative bodies. And both, after long detailed investigations, concluded there was no merit to these charges, that, you know, is exactly as I wrote in my book, Apropos of Nothing. There was nothing to it.”

Asked if he felt cancelled, Allen mentioned: “I feel if you’re going to be cancelled, this is the culture to be cancelled by. I just find that all so silly. I don’t think about it. I don’t know what it means to be cancelled.

“I know that over the years everything has been the same for me. I make my movies. What has changed is the presentation of the films. You know, I work and it’s the same routine for me.

“I write the script, raise the money, make the film, shoot it, edit it, it comes out. The difference is not from cancel culture. The difference is the way they present the films. It’s that that’s the big change.”
