Woody Allen on Woody Allen by
Woody Allen
A Must For Woody Allen Fans.
Fans of Woody Allen have long waited to hear him tell us in his own words
about his life, his tastes, and his films, but until recently he has been
reluctant to give lengthy interviews. This book is the conversation weve
been waiting for, a dialogue with Stig Bjorkman in which Allen speaks
openly about himself and his art. Bjorkman invites the writer/director to
talk at length about his lesser-known movies as well as his famous ones.
We also learn about Allens filmmaking technique, his feelings about his
stock company of actors, his influences, and why Stardust Memories and
The Purple Rose of Cairo are his two personal favorites.
Personal Review: Woody Allen on Woody Allen by Woody Allen
I was going through some old books today and came across this. I
remember buying it quite a long time ago -- at the height of my Woody
Allen worship. It's an absolutely fabulous book, made up of a long series
of Q&As the author conducted with Woody Allen about his films. It starts
with his early career and then devotes each new chapter to a specific
movie, working chronologically. Allen, as always, is brutally honest about
his movies -- he's modest, if anything. The insights are wonderful and
Allen is a terrific, articulate interview subject. Unfortunately, the book ends
with "Manhattan Murder Mystery." I've often hoped Mr. Bjorkman and
Allen would do a sequel and pick up where they left off.
This is an essential book for any Woody Allen fan.
