Items related to Woody Allen: Rétrospective
Synopsis
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, providing incisive commentary on his films and shedding light on this uniquely self-deprecating filmmaker, with the help of comments contributed by Allen himself. 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.
'I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through not dying.' Woody Allen

Review
An extraordinary career is celebrated with behind-the-scenes shots and informative prose. --The Times
A series of intelligently constructed essays. --Independent on Sunday
Shone's analysis is most piercing ... [his] prose has a beauty of its own, abounding in nonchalantly exquisite turns of phrase. --The Observer
Erudite. --Spectator
A luxuriant photo-history. --Prospect
