Given that Woody Allen has spent much of his life in the public spotlight,and has had numerous books published about him there is not likely to be much new revealed in a documentary such as this.Indeed i very much got the view that either the film was made by a company controlled by Allen or made in such a way as to show a fairly complementary view of him.True his affair with his second wife is mentioned but not a great deal else.I think that his gradual decline from the heights and the 70s and 80s is not emphasised enough.Every film that he made used to be an event.Nowdays we have no idea whether or not a new film of his is even going to be distributed to the cinemas in the UK.I believe that the words that Allen put in his fans mouths in Stardust Memories about his early funny films are just as true today.He probably has only made a couple of worthwhile films since the beginning of this decade.Although a bit long it was fairly entertaining.
