Book Reviews of Woody Allen on Woody Allen
Book Review: Entertaining and Interesting.
Summary: 5 Stars
The book starts with a good interview about Allen's early days and his transition from a young movies' fan, to a skilled writter and director. The interviewer makes deep questions trying to reveal Allen's way of thinking, his taste on films, literature, music, etc.
In addition the book makes a complete and deep revision of each Allen's movie in which Woody provides a detailed explanation and description of the movie itself. The subject, the locations where they were film, the election of the movie cast, as well as his relationship with the whole staff that has accompanied him along the years in the movies making process.
If you like Woody Allen you will love this book because it is entertaining, it provides a lot of insight about Allen and while you are reading it, you feel you are part of the interview as well, like you had the chance to sit there discussing life and movies with him.
Summary of Woody Allen on Woody Allen
Over the course of his long directing career, Woody Allen has portrayed contemporary American life with an unmistakable mixture of irony, neurotic obsession, and humor. Woody Allen on Woody Allen is a unique self-portrait of this uncompromising filmmaker that offers a revealing account of his life and work. In a series of rare, in-depth interviews, Allen brings us onto the sets and behind the scenes of all his films. Since its original publication, Woody Allen on Woody Allen has been the primary source of Allen's own thoughts on his work, childhood, favorite films, and inspirations. Now updated with one hundred pages of new material that brings us up to his Hollywood Ending, Woody Allen on Woody Allen is a required addition to any cinephile's library.
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 we've 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 Allen's 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.
