Tips

culture

Standard PRC transliteration. Woody Allen is one of the few American directors with broad name-recognition among older Chinese cinephiles, alongside 希区柯克 (Xīqūkēkè, 'Hitchcock') and 库布里克 (Kùbùlǐkè, 'Kubrick'). His neurotic, dialogue-driven comedies became a reference point for Chinese arthouse audiences in the 1990s.

mistakes

The name uses · (the 间隔号 jiàngéhào, 'separator dot') between given name and surname. This Unicode middle dot (U+00B7) is the standard convention for foreign full names in Chinese — never substitute a Chinese-period 。 or a hyphen.
