Overview

Actor, manager, iconic writer, artist and comedian Woody Allen allowed creative process and his life to be recorded on camera for its very first time. With this unprecedented access, Emmy-winning, Oscar-nominated filmmaker Robert B. Weide accompanied the famously private movie legend over a year and a half to generate the ultimate movie. "Woody Allen: A Documentary" chronicles Allen's career - by adolescent author to Sid Caesar's television scribe, from stand up comedian to award-winning writer director averaging one film-per-year for at least 40 years. Directing, casting, exploring Allen's writing customs, and relationship with AListers first-hand, new interviews with his celebrities, writing partners, family and friends offer insight and backstory to the inscrutable filmmaker.
