Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Woody Allen is a phenomenon! An acquired taste with a relatively small fan base, he has nevertheless become a household name, his neurotic mannerisms recognised even by those totally uninterested in the cinema. Despite being described rather self-deprecatingly by the author as "compiled from various thin sources, and padded out with background detail", this is an ideal introduction to the work of the Jewish funnyman.

In just under 100 pages, Martin Fitzgerald gives us a description of Woody's working methods, a little information on his life, acting and night-time job as a jazz musician, and a bibliography. Each of his films up to Celebrity is given a full plot description and critical analysis, covering recurrent themes, and accorded an overall rating out of five. Political satire in his screwball works such as Sleeper gave way to more regular themes of sexuality, death and love in his "serious" work from Annie Hall onwards. Choice one-liners accompany each entry and stop the text appearing over-serious.

Surprisingly, there are occasional repetitions, and with the regularity of theme, Woody Allen is better dipped into than read in one sitting. Not for connoisseurs then, but as an introduction to an intelligent, amusing talent, this book is recommended. --Stephen Portlock
