Film Fresh

Beginning with Allen's childhood and his first professional gigs as a teen furnishing jokes for comics and publicists WOODY ALLEN: A DOCUMENTARY chronicles the trajectory and longevity of Allen's career: from his work in the 1950s-60s as a TV scribe for Sid Caesar, standup comedian and frequent TV talk show guest, to a writer-director averaging one film-per-year for more than 40 years. Director Bob Weide covers Allen's earliest film work in TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN, BANANAS, SLEEPER and LOVE AND DEATH; frequent Oscar favorites such as ANNIE HALL, MANHATTAN, ZELIG, BROADWAY DANNY ROSE, PURPLE ROSE OF CAIRO, CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS, HUSBANDS & WIVES, BULLETS OVER BROADWAY and MIGHTY APHORDITE; and his recent globetrotting phase with MATCH POINT, VICKY CHRISTINA BARCELONA, and his latest success MIDNIGHT IN PARIS.
