Woody Allen : a retrospective / Tom Shone. - 287 p. : ill. ; 30 cm.
Woody Allen is a uniquely innovative performer, writer, and director with nearly fifty movies to his credit, from cult slapstick films and romantic comedies to introspective character studies and crime thrillers. Classics such as Annie Hall, Manhattan, Stardust Memories, Broadway Danny Rose and Hannah and Her Sisters still resonate, and more recently Midnight in Paris and Blue Jasmine have been notable successes. In this timely retrospective, Tom Shone reviews Woody Allen's entire career. His informed commentaries are combined with many classic quotes from Allen that define the director's self-deprecating humour and acute thinking about his life and times. Superbly illustrated with more than 250 key images, this is a fitting tribute to one of the masters of modern cinema, published to mark Woody Allen's eightieth birthday
