Iconic writer, director, actor, comedian, and musician Woody Allen allows his life and creative process to be documented on-camera for the first time. With this unprecedented access, Oscar-nominated filmmaker Robert Weide followed the notoriously private film legend over a year and a half to create the ultimate film biography. Beginning with Allen's childhood, the film chronicles the trajectory and longevity of Allen's career, from teen writer to TV scribe, from standup comedian to award winning director, averaging a film a year for more than 40 years. "It's delightful to be able to review so many of these gems and learn the stories behind them." - Whit Stillman
