The films of Woody Allen tie comedy to theology. The combination is rare in
Western culture but important because it reveals the nature of human
beings. Most moral questioning is dry and serious. Allen's is entertaining
and comic and suggests that God, too, has a sense of humor. An
understanding of God is incomplete unless it includes the comedy of life.

- Author's Abstract: COPYRIGHT 1998 University of Nebraska Press
"The article examines correspondences between Woody Allen's film Zelig and texts by Franz Kafka. Both Leonard Zelig and Gregor Samsa (The Metamorphosis) suffer from mysterious illnesses which are multi-determined. Twentieth-century racial stereotypes are partially responsible for them; other causes lie in the commercialization of life in early twentieth-century society. Zelig's illness parallels the cultural trends and political movements of his time and becomes full-blown in the fascist movement. Zelig is therefore also a commentary on the cultural climate which helped bring about the rise of fascism. Kafka could not benefit from Allen's hindsight, but Kafka's representation of what turns human beings into commodities with no identity of their own nonetheless complements Allen's picture. Further parallels are drawn between Zelig and Kafka's hunger artist, the performing ape Rotpeter ("A Report to an Academy"), and Karl Rossmann (Amerika). All of these protagonists fail to retain a sense of selfhood in a commodified world. Yet the causes for their illnesses lie not in themselves but in society on the whole, and for this reason there is no cure for these human commodities. Unlike Kafka, though, Woody Allen grants Zelig a cure in the end, a cure which is possible only in the realm of fantasy." [Expanded Academic Index]

- "Woody Allen's previous attempts at producing and directing dramatic movieshave proven to be unsuccessful. His efforts lack the character and wit thatembody his previous works. This attempt at a shift in style hassignificantly reduced his popularity. His comedic writing attempts torevive his fame, on the other hand, have been too unrealistic and lackedsubstance. Allen should also try casting other, more capable actors for themale lead roles, other than himself." [Expanded Academic Index]

- "Examines Woody Allen's stories and films of the 1970's to 1990 to demonstrate the strong influence of the Russian classics. Allen makes many specific references to Russian works and shares with the great Russian authors a deep concern with "the ultimate questions that define a human being's life." The Russian influence is apparent in all phases of Allen's work: the early funny stories and films, the "laughter through tears" movies, and the deadly serious creations."

- The conflict between author and classical narrative in Woody Allen's film comedies is examined. Allen's early films illustrate a "resistance to narrative" that can be directly related to his stand-up comic performances of the 1960s. However, in the 1970s trilogy Love and Death, Annie Hall, and Manhattan, narrative and plot gradually come to equal the importance of the stand-up comic/narrator, and even, in Manhattan, to dominate. In Stardust Memories, the author is acknowledged as a fictional construct, formed of fragments of his films, audience, critics' and intellectuals' responses, and all part of the narrative process. Thus a gradual shift can be posited in the development of Allen's filmic career from a privileged author/spectator relationship to an acknowledgement of the power of the narrative and the limitations of the author as dominant creator and viable artistic concept.

- Hollywood movies continue to portray Jews as stereotypes. Jewish mothers
are a theme in 'Used People' while 'Mr. Saturday Night' uses standup
comics. Woody Allen's 'Shadows and Fog' makes shallow use of the victim
theme. Two exceptions are 'Homicide' about a search for ethnic roots and
the comedy 'Leon the Pig Farmer' about stereotypes.

- A comedian mentions Woody Allen as his favorite in his field with the Pythons, Tommy Cooper and Leonard Rossiter also gaining his respect. Scenes in two Allen movies, namely, 'Bananas' and 'Sleeper' are considered among the funniest. Allen, like many other comedians, tended to be prone to depression and was fastidious about order. His brand of comedy is American as it guides the audience to the comic situation. On the other hand, British comedy is poker-faced as it leaves the audience to spot the comic element and respond to it.

Woody Allen-Mia Farrow scandal provide insights into how popular critics
and reporters perceive themselves. Popular critics' transparent attempt to
feign indifference to Madonna's exhibitionism shows their inability to
understand how fear, prudery, nostalgia and snobbery prevent them from
honestly reviewing sexually explicit material. The Woody Allen affair shows
how reporters will alter the facts when covering such an episode to prevent
self-perception as sleazy yellow journalists.

- In Christmas 1997, just as critics complained that nearly every movie was too long and slowing down to accommodate that length, Woody Allen's Deconstructing Harry came in at 95 minutes. Despite its conciseness, the film has 20 or so significant characters and four or five weaving story lines, with characters appearing as their real selves and as they figured in the central character Harry's chronic fictions. Moreover, everything was clear and workable, with set pieces and segues, the funniest lines and situations of the season, and sharp self-loathing. The writer provides an overview of Allen's other films and reflects on his ambivalence toward Allen, whom he dislikes as an actor but admires as a filmmaker.

- Noted film director Woody Allen believes that humorists see the world in a
different light. He explains that these individuals have a knack for
processing their experiences through a 'comic filter,' which he says is
their way of coping with reality. Aside from directing humorous movies, the
New York native also dabbles in prose and theater, lacing his work with the
brand of humor usually seen in his movies. The writers that inspired him to
write include Max Shulman, Robert Benchley and S.J. Perelman.

seen in the films of Woody Allen, which have a novel-like narrative strain, and some of Bernard Malamud's fiction, which incorporates some film
techniques to expand on, and show the limits of, traditional fiction narrative. By narrowing the novelistic scope of his writing, Malamud
presents flat, more immediate images like those associated with Spike Lee's films. Malamud's 'The Tennant' is discussed in this context." [Expanded Academic Index]

"Sigmund Freud's influence over Woody Allen is apparent in the film 'Annie
Hall' in which the relationship between jokes and the unconscious is
emphasized. Jokes are perceived to be structured to express controversial
or disagreeable issues without actually confronting them. Indirect
representation, condensation and displacement are some of the techniques
used. Allen succeeds in utilizing visual, verbal and literary symbols to
portray manifest and latent meanings in the film." [Expanded Academic Index]

She asserts that Allen's jokes are more powerful for being grounded in real characters. What she finds most striking about Annie Hall is the way in which Allen takes a very liberal approach to filmmaking without compromising his honesty.

- Woody Allen's "Another Woman" draws upon psychological interpretations of
otherness, sexual identity and sense of self in portraying the emotional
lives of two women. The lead character, Marion, is a philosophy professor
whose marriage is ending. Through a wall, she hears the therapy sessions of
a pregnant woman named Hope, who is positioned as Marion's opposite. The
film explores Marion's questioning of the rational, career-oriented life
that she has chosen and the impact these choices have had on her ability to
become engaged emotionally.

- Woody Allen's Bullets Over Broadway recaptures much of the fun of the Broadway and gangster sagas of Hollywood's Golden Age. As always, a myriad of characters hides the lack of visible ideas. When the movie satirizes the intellectual pretensions of early American theater it is wonderful, however. The set decoration is also outstanding, and it is a hilarious movie.

Scorsese carried on his delineation of the pain caused by choice of
vocation. Allen's film explored how people resolve the moral choices that
confront them. In 'Crimes' Allen satirizes the influence of Hollywood
movies." [Expanded Academic Index]

- Woody Allen's film 'Deconstructing Harry' is a tacit acknowledgment of his
misogynistic views about women. An ego-aggrandizing exercise that clearly
mirrors Allen's life, the film fails to excite since it is so obviously an
effort by Allen to provide excuses for his overbearingly sexist view of the
world. While Allen has created a distinctive, provocative film, his
unsubtle attempt to use the film to justify his private infidelities makes
it quite objectionable in many respects.

- Woody Allen's film 'Deconstructing Harry' is a fascinating exploration of
the use of art as a tool for self-redemption. In the film, Allen plays an
insufferable writer whose immersion in his writing allows him to create a
gratifying escape from the problems he encounters in his troubled family
relationships. The film permits Allen to examine the possibility that an
artist's professional success can be used to excuse personal failure.

Woody Allen's characterization in the movie 'Deconstructing Harry' is more
indicative of the writer Philip Roth than of himself. Several details in
the movie illustrate known events in Roth's life. Speculation has it that
Allen is repaying Roth for dating his ex-wife, Mia Farrow.

- This film marks the return of Allen's autobiographical cinema of complaint. Obsessively interested in formalism, it is a filmic exploration of psychological fragmentation. A troubling feature is Allen's willingness to subdue such compelling actresses as Judy Davis and Elisabeth Shue in order to aggrandize his hero's overblown psyche. At best, this film is the funny retreat of an artist defeated by his own film who makes a dazzling job of glamorizing its frame.

- UC users only
- Woody Allen's film 'Deconstructing Harry' is the latest in a series of
insistent films made after the sordid Mia Farrow/Soon Yi scandal erupted in
1992. This film, like virtually all of Woody Allen's comedies, tackles the
relationship between art, fantasy and the creative process. It also allows
Allen to mock Jewish stereotypes irreverently and permits him to address
questions about the morality of his self-confessed younger-woman fixation.

- "Film: Deconstructing Harry." (motion picture review) New Statesman (1996) v127, n4381 (April 17, 1998):44 (1 page).
- Woody Allen's 'Deconstructing Harry' is another sorry attempt by the
neurotic writer/director to prove himself as an artist. 'Great
Expectations' proves to be the better movie because of its highly
imaginative reworking and the competent performances.

- UC users only
- Woody Allen's film 'Deconstructing Harry' is his most ambitious work since
'Hannah and Her Sisters.' Its satirical wit and structural complexity allow
Allen to present to viewers a fascinating character study of a destructive
writer who, unable to deal with the realities of life, retreats into the
more controllable fantasy world of his fiction. Smart, bold and funny, the
film is perhaps Allen's most revealingly autobiographical work.

- Woody Allen's film 'Deconstructing Harry' is both charming and intelligent.
While it is true that the film is mean-spirited in its portrayal of women,
it is also a wonderful reminder of Allen's gifts as a filmmaker. Tackling
with unapologetic verve the subjects of misogyny, hypocrisy and male
arrogance, Allen succeeds in creative a film that is a complex, fascinating
and provocative examination of the complexities of art and life.

- Woody Allen has played a moralist in many of his earlier films but when
rumors of child molestation and seduction of a stepdaughter of his partner
broke out there has been a shift in the characters he portrays and writes
about. The shift is most pronounced in the movie 'Deconstructing Harry'
where Allen plays a writer. Indeed, the movie could very well have been an
autobiographical account of Woody Allen's life.

- Everyone Says I Love You is Woody Allen's most confident and commercially successful film for some time. Glib and complacent, it provides family entertainment in more ways than one; the director with a famously skeptical if not dysfunctional relationship to families presents an idealized image of the extended family as the seat of solid emotional values.

discussion of blockbuster musicals, particularly MGM musicals of the 1950's,

- A discussion of Woody Allen's new film Everyone Says I Love You. The writer argues that the purpose of this film is to let the viewer share Allen's love of the musical. After discussing various musicals, such as Meet Me in St. Louis, Viva Las Vegas, and Saturday Night Fever, he contends that there have been few American movies in the last 20 years or so that deserve to be called "new musicals"--melodramas done with a unity of story, acting, movement, and music. He concludes that Allen's movie merely pays due reverence to a lost past.

- "That Thing They Don't." Film Comment XXXIII/2, Mar-Apr 97; p.43-45.
- In Everyone Says I Love You, Woody Allen never questions his characters'
social motives, and, set to music, their lasciviousness, cruelness, and
selfishness get sanctioned. The film is a psychodramatic musical in
which inappropriate romantic deceptions among the rich, white,
world-traveling Manhattanite characters are infused with farcical esprit,
and in which class privilege is reasserted. Allen's reactionary musical
succeeds only at its conclusion, when Goldie Hawn is allowed to stop
impersonating Diane Keaton's dithering and actually carry a tune, a feat
no one else in the film manages.

Both films feature several characters with their own individual storylines,
however, while Allen uses internal monologues for character development;
Freundlich favours facial expression and cinematography. Allen's shooting
style also influenced Freundlich's latest release.

"Hannah and Her Sisters" to study the merits of domesticity and men's and
women's relationships to it. The film's domesticity is not confined to the
feminine values often associated with it. Allen treats domesticity as the
effort to create a space that is both comfortable and nurturing and that
involves making connections with loved ones. Though the women in the film
are more closely linked with domesticity, they enjoy subject status as well
as object status." [Expanded Academic Index]

- Woody Allen's Manhattan Murder Mystery comes across as a surprisingly
careless film given Allen's notorious perfectionism. The cinematic
allusions to Hitchcock and Wilder only serve to remind the audience how
much better these directors were at this genre. Manhattan Murder Mystery
has an oddly tentative quality, and even the one-liners have a
provisional air. One redeeming feature, however, is a characteristically
poised and witty appearance by Anjelica Huston.

- Novelist Woody Allen is well-known for his assembly of ideas and images,

people in rooms, and brings back Allen's favorite long-faced nebbish
screen persona. Despite Allen's attempts to build in a knowing
perspective on the class boundaries being breached by his central
character, Lenny, this film remains deeply patronizing about the
working-class characters of Linda and Kevin.

relates the story of a sportswriter's search for his adopted son's
mother, whom he then discovers is a prostitute. The rest of the film is
about his Pygmalion-like attempt to remake her into a lady and find her a
husband. Full of funny literate conceits and uninhibited vulgarity, the
film is a palimpsest of old and new Allen.

- An interview with filmmaker Woody Allen is presented. Allen describes his European filmmaking period which produced his film "Vicky Christina Barcelona," and how he has returned to New York City to start a new chapter in his artistic life. The article documents how Allen started as a joke writer for television comedian Sid Caesar, and followed that up by doing stand-up comedy. Allen states that the film "The Curse of the Jade Scorpion," took the longest to produce of all his films.

- "Postmodern parody: Zelig and the rhetorical subversion of documentary form."
Qualitative Research Reports in Communication, vol. 2, no. 4, pp. 81-88, Fall 2001
- "Communication scholars have increasingly concerned themselves with the implications of postmodernism. In particular, Shugart (1999), probing the rhetorical dimensions of postmodern "subversive irony" in Susan White's painting of The First Supper, concludes that "investigation of other instances of postmodern subversive irony is necessary in order to explore" irony's "technical and theoretical dimensions further" (p. 454). In this essay, the authors employ Hutcheon's (1988) conception of postmodern aesthetic practices and "historiographic metafiction" in an analysis of Woody Allen's film Zelig to develop an understanding of how postmodern parody (irony), in the form of antithesis, rhetorically functions to subvert the conventions of documentary form. One rhetorical implication of Hutcheon's position is that postmodern aesthetic practices problematize the constructed nature of knowledge and, more specifically, the ideological components of historical and literary knowledge. From a rhetorical perspective, postmodern aesthetic practices function to foreground the constructed nature of texts and thereby enthymematically invite audiences to interrogate the meaning-making processes per se (rhetorical strategies) and by extension the meanings made via those processes (epistemic claims). Postmodern aesthetic practices tend to cast into stark relief the rhetorical pretenses of the meaning-making processes. The analysis of Allen's Zelig, as an examplar of postmodern parody, is intended to further develop an understanding of the rhetorical dimensions of postmodern subversive irony."

- "'Zelig' According to Bakhtin." (Woody Allen's movie, Mikhail Bakhtin) (Film Parody)
Quarterly Review of Film and Video v12, n1-2 (May, 1990):37 (11 pages).
- Woody Allen's movie 'Zelig' fits Mikhail Bakhtin's theories of parody, in which multiple discourses and self critique predominate. 'Zelig' contains self criticism of the Hollywood star system which Allen is part of. The relations of filmmaker to character to audience provide multiple discourses, since Allen partakes of all three categories.
