Woody Allen by Florence Colombani

Woody Allen by Florence Colombani

Woody Allen (USA, b. 1935) has been a major comic director since the 1970s. Writer, director and actor, his self-portrayal as a neurotic, intellectual, sex-obsessed, Jewish New Yorker seeking comfort in psychoanalysis brought him immense popular success and acknowledged status as a writer (Manhattan, 1979; Deconstructing Harry, 1997). In the 2000s he left New York to work in Europe, winning over a new audience with fresh inspiration and young actors, including Scarlett Johansson in Match Point (2005) and Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008).

Obessed with Film.com
'bargain price. Does an already saturated market need yet more auteur guides? On this evidence, yes. … briskly paced, scalpel-sharp primers …The collective quality is high, the tone scholarly but not intimidating. … A triumph of layout as much as content, each book glows with gorgeous on- and off-screen archive photography… Magnifique.'
