Amazon.com
Fans of Woody Allen have long waited to hear him tell us in his own words about his life, his tastes, and his films, but until recently he has been reluctant to give lengthy interviews. This book is the conversation we've been waiting for, a dialogue with Stig Bjorkman in which Allen speaks openly about himself and his art. Bjorkman invites the writer/director to talk at length about his lesser-known movies as well as his famous ones. We also learn about Allen's filmmaking technique, his feelings about his stock company of actors, his influences, and why Stardust Memories and The Purple Rose of Cairo are his two personal favorites.

From Booklist
Swedish filmmaker Bj{™}orkman compiled this volume from several weeks of interviews, conducted over a six-month period, in which he led Allen through a film-by-film discussion of his quarter century as director, actor, and writer. Allen's thoughtful examination of his career should come as no surprise, since his neurotic, nebbishy film persona has long since been supplanted by that of the serious, reflective artist. Although the tone is rather too conversational (Bj{™}orkman seems to have enjoyed his time with Allen too much to ask many critical, probing questions) and questions of proportion arise (less than 4 pages devoted to Hannah and Her Sisters but 15 to the turgid September), the conversation is rich in anecdotes, trivia (Allen's first choice for the Marshall McLuhan cameo in Annie Hall was Fellini), and insight into Allen's surprisingly loose approach to filmmaking. Despite recent personal and professional downturns, Allen retains a loyal cadre of fans eager to read what he has to say in this worthwhile supplement to the various Allen biographies. Gordon Flagg

Thus far, this is the most entertaining, fulfulling book about The WoodMan that I have read yet. Stig asks all of the questions that I want to ask and Woody never fails to give each question its due worth. So many subjects are covered in this book - I couldn't have asked for more. I learned of many details about Woody's thought process and philosophies, and even the simple things that I hadn't considered. Wonderful.
Format:Taschenbuch
I no longer have to dream what it would be like to have a conversation with Woody Allen. What an intellect. He makes many references to literature, movies, especially foreign films and artists that he loves. These works are now on my must see and read list.
I loved learning the behind the scenes details of his movies, but now I wish someone would write a book about his personal philosophies of life. I find his religious, socio-political ideas rivoting, provoking, and unique. The book provides a glimpse into the workings of the inner mind of a genius.
My only complaint is that it wasn't longer.

This book simply is a must for people who are interested in film!
Whether you love or hate Woody Allen's work, there is a great deal to learn on film history from this book.
Stig Björkman knows so much about all aspects of film and therefore delivers an outrageously professional interview. But still, the interviewer stays humble, asking questions showing a profound knowledge of the subject. Since Woody Allen is very good at answering in a direct but well thought about way, it never gets boring and never seems primitive that the book is written simply in direct dialogue.
What I personally appreciate as well is that the talk is purely about film and about Woody Allen as an artist - his private life does not enter unless it is closely related to the discussed subjects. So you get a very relevant view to Woody Allen's career. Because of Stig Björkman's high professionalism, and because of Woody Allen's conversation talent and open mind.
It never gets too intellectual either. In fact, it makes you want to watch the Woody Allen movies you haven't had the opportunity to watch yet.
The only minus is that the book is some years old so that it does not contain discussions on his recent very interesting films.
But as it is an unrejectable document on film history, "Woody Allen On Woody Allen" does belong on any film friends' bookshelf!

Wonderful read for fans of the Woodman
This is a nice summary of Allen's film career up to the point of Manhattan Murder Mystery. He comes off as very calm and thoughtful -- new insights into his work abound. Lesen Sie weiter...
