Woody Allen: A Documentary

Synopsis

Iconic writer, director, actor, comedian, and musician Woody Allen allowed his life and creative process to be documented on-camera for the first time. With this unprecedented access, Emmy®-winning, Oscar®-nominated filmmaker Robert Weide followed the notoriously private film legend over a year and a half to create the ultimate film biography.

Woody Allen: A Documentary chronicles Allen’s career – from teen writer to Sid Caeser’s TV scribe, from standup comedian to award-winning writer-director averaging one film-per-year for more than 40 years.

Exploring Allen’s writing habits, casting, directing, and relationship with his actors first-hand, new interviews with A-listers, writing partners, family and friends provide insight and backstory to the usually inscrutable filmmaker.
