Woody Allen: A Documentary

Thanks to Robert Weide’s comprehensive documentary about the life and times of Allan Konigsberg (Woody Allen’s real name) - from 30s Brooklyn and his stand-up comedy routines to worldwide acclaim and the Academy Awards for «Annie Hall» and «Manhattan» - we get the chance to relive some of this merry prankster’s best moments. Despite his well-documented anthropophobia and time weighing heavily on his shoulders, Woody Allen is still the soul of the party, telling stories and making jokes about his childhood years, his school, his films and his outdated working methods. In one of the documentary’s most delightful sequences, the director introduces us to his typewriter, which he bought in the 50s, assured by the salesman it "would still work long after he was dead!" He admits he still writes on it to this very day, stapling pages together in his own private interpretation of copy-paste. «Woody Allen: A Documentary» offers a rare opportunity for a behind-the-scenes look into a beautiful mind. Ph.V.
