Reviews
Witty, surprising, important (but never self-important), and "best of all "moving...a compact but very real treasure...graceful and perceptive...wonderful., As usual, Richard Schickel has nailed his subject, and this time his subject is a particularly hard one to nail., A breezy, readable entry to Allen's vast bibliography...with an excellent Introduction and Afterword., Witty, surprising, important (but never self-important), and--best of all--moving...a compact but very real treasure...graceful and perceptive...wonderful., The author pleads a strong case that as a gifted writer and actor of limited range, Woody Allen deserves a more prominent position in the motion picture arts., Schickel may well be the smartest, most practiced and least axe-grinding interviewer Allen has ever had., Even those who have lost who have lost patience with Allen's recent efforts will want to read what he has to say about his 1970s masterworks.

Synopsis
In an unprecedented television program last year, Woody Allen spoke to the camera for the first time about the entire range of his work, in an interview with Richard Schickel, the distinguished film critic and historian. Mr. Allen talked about how he does it, why he does it, its roots in his early life, and his current thinking about the state of his art. The result Woody Allen: A Life in Film , was one of the most popular and critically acclaimed programs in the history of Turner Classic Movies. But the presentation contained only a small fraction of Mr. Schickel's four-hour interview with the famed writer-director-actor. This new book reprints the complete conversation between the two men and includes a long essay of introduction by Mr. Schickel, which places Woody Allen's entire career in critical perspective. Readers will find Mr. Allen's reflections on his major preoccupations--the battle of the sexes; the conflict between reality and fantasy in his major films; mortality, religion, and the role that chance plays in the unfolding of our lives. The book also offers insights into Mr. Allen's working methods as a writer and the growth of his skills as a director, as well as his assessment of himself as an actor and his surprising views of his long life in the public eye. Brief but sharply honed, Woody Allen: A Life in Film is an essential book for anyone seeking to understand the life and times of one of the most important and least understood American filmmakers of our era., This book reprints a four-hour conversation between Mr. Schickel and Mr. Allen and includes a long essay of introduction by Mr. Schickel, which places Woody Allen's entire career in critical perspective, as well as a complete filmography.
