Documentary about Woody Allen, with interviews and archival footage.

Picture gallery

From his beginnings writing sketches for columnists and comics, to his current work presented at film festivals around the world, Woody Allen is unstoppable. His creative process is described by long-term friends and colleagues – producers, actors, muses, friends, Allen himself – and a few archival images of his mother that reveal his interest in psychoanalysis. Showdowns during his stage work, the disappointment of his first film project and the lessons he learned from it are also dealt with in this documentary. A strong and luckily incomplete biography waiting to be enhanced with new stories, to be written with the same old typewriter Woody Allen has used since he was 15.

The man is worthy of an ante-mortem biography and these different interviews and movie clips reveal the evolutionary extent of his career. Several decades of success - sometimes tarnished by duds - and an insatiable desire to continue to do what he loves. Robert B. Weide, who has already made documentaries about actors, gives a behind-the-scenes look at Allen's private life without being intrusive. A tender portrait of a multitalented man.
