A rape joke by a French comedian directed at Woody Allen at the Cannes festival drew gasps from many in attendance at the Palais. But the filmmaker himself apparently was not upset by the joke. It compared him to fugitive filmmaker Roman Polanski. At a lunch for his film Cafe Society on Thursday, Allen told a table including members of the media that he wasn't offended by the joke.
