Buchbeschreibung Broschiert / Paperback. Zustand: Gut. 167 S. / p. Altersgemäß sehr guter Zustand / very good condition for age - Updated Edition - includes Hannah and Her Sisters and Radio Days -- Over sixteen movies and nineteen years, Woody Allen has contributed dozens of lasting images to America's collective unconscious. Whether it s Sleeper's Miles Monroe waking up wobbly and unbelieving in the year 2173, Allen Felix frantically trying to act nonchalant for his big date in Play It Again, Sam, the scatterbrained Annie Hall silhouetted against the New York skyline, or another, there s a favorite Woody Allen scene imbedded deep in the memory of every moviegoer. -- The Films of Woody Allen is a gorgeously illustrated appraisal of the genius behind these scenes, written by French film critic and director Robert Benayoun. Woody Allen s comedy looks so effortless that viewers have always found it easy to assume that Woody Allen the actor and Woody Allen the director were one and the same. Benayoun shows that in fact Allen is one of the most self-aware and accomplished living directors, who like Fellini, Bergman, and Antonioni is always testing the limits of his medium and grappling with important intellectual questions at the same time that he entertains. The author demonstrates that Allen has matured with each new film, from the slapstick humor of Bananas and Take the Money and Run, through the highly visual comedy/drama of Annie Hall ynA Manhattan, to what Benayoun sees as the perfect balance between the verbal and the visual in his more recent movies A Midsummer Night s Sex Comedy, Zelig, and Broadway Danny Rose. -- In his stunning selection of more than 200 stills from Allen s movies and candids of the moviemaker at work, Benayoun adds a convincing fourth dimension to his arguments, absorbing readers in their memories of the films at the same time that he draws them into the details of Allen s technique. The Films of Woody Allen is a book that will provoke readers to look to both old favorites and recent releases with a fresh objectiveness and clarity, and it will renew in even his most ardent admirers a sense ofWoody Allen s unique importance in modern film.
