Perfect for you if...

  • You're a serious film fan who owns at least three Woody Allen DVDs and want the behind-the-scenes stories and production details for each one.
  • You appreciate the evolution of a director's voice across decades and want to understand how Allen's obsessions with death, New York, and neurosis shaped his work.
  • You're planning a Woody Allen marathon and need a trusted reference that covers everything from Tiger Lily to Blue Jasmine with actual analysis, not just plot summaries.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You've never seen a Woody Allen film and have no interest in changing that.
  • You're looking for critical takedowns or moral reckonings. This is a celebration of the filmography, not a reckoning with the man.
  • You want a lightweight coffee table book. This is a working reference with serious film writing.

About this book

A comprehensive overview of Woody Allen's filmography, covering his work as a writer, actor, director, comedian, author, and musician. With over 45 writing and directing credits, Allen's films span multiple genres, from slapstick to tragedy and farce to fantasy. His distinctive style and comic sensibility have influenced countless filmmakers. Film writer Jason Bailey profiles all of Allen's films, beginning with his debut feature What's Up, Tiger Lily and continuing through slapstick classics like Take the Money and Run and Sleeper; Academy Award-winning films including Annie Hall and Hannah and Her Sisters; and recent works such as Midnight in Paris and Blue Jasmine. The book includes essays exploring recurring themes in Allen's work, including death, Freud, music, and New York City. Featuring behind-the-scenes stories, interviews with actors and actresses, full cast lists, production details, and full-color images, this reference work documents Allen's career and his place in American popular culture.
