The people responsible for this documentary have a problem: they worship Woody Allen and think that absolutely anything he says and does is interesting. Most of the things he says or does _here_ are really not of much interest, even for a fan like me. There are no real interviews of anyone else - they merely co-exist in the shadow of the Great Genius. The result is that the film becomes very monotonous and staying awake becomes a challenge.
Worst of all, the filmmakers seem to hate the music involved, or at least not to understand it: they always cut away at wrong places. I would have preferred much more music and less of Woody talking.
Come to think of it, WA himself occasionally has the same habit of over-emphasizing himself. Every time I come across "Everyone Says I Love You" I get more and more annoyed of his painfully unfunny romance with Julia Roberts, knowing that interesting musical numbers were cut from that film.
