Why is Woody Allen still making movies?

In Down by Law (1986, directed by Jim Jarmusch), Roberto Benigni has an important scene in which he implores his friends (played by Tom Waits and John Lurie) at length in Italian. No subtitles when I saw it in upon release; it may be subtitled now.

Not long ago, I posted here about the film Alpha, which is set in prehistoric times and features a fictional language.
