Woody Waxes Poetic

JoBloJoBlo

Woody Allen is perhaps the most celebrated living American filmmaker (sorry Martin and Steve). The genre-hopping auteur lays claim to some of the most iconic romances, comedies and thrillers of modern times. He is a celebrated actor, writer (director obv) and redfined what it means to be a New Yorker. If nothing else, the man has given hope to neurotic nerds everywhere that yes, it is possible to get the girl. I watch his films and I marvel at his genius, his uniquely cinematic mind, as he picks and chooses the best of European and American film and reappropriates it into an amalgam of literary, self-reflexive hysteria. Film school enough for you? If you guys want the Allen low-down from someone other than me (who’s writing this drunk and high), get it from Allen himself, as he muses on twelve of his most recognizable films. Check it out HERE
