Woody Allen documentary on BBC1 Tuesday, 23 July, previously seen on DVD
And finally, a treat for all film fans, as Imagine presents the definitive biography of the inimitable Woody Allen. Made over a two-year period by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Robert B Weide, Woody Allen: A Documentary is an intimate two-part study of the multi-Oscar-winning New York auteur, in which Allen lets us into his life and work. Woody Allen talks candidly about his childhood in Brooklyn, his early fame as a stand-up in New York City, and his first forays into screen writing and filmmaking. He doesn't shy away from discussing his sometimes controversial relationships with the leading ladies in his life, or discussing the hits and misses of an unparalleled body of work spanning five decades of filmmaking. Screen legends including Diane Keaton, Penelope Cruz, Scarlett Johansson, Larry David and John Cusack join Allen’s family of filmmakers for a unique insight into one of the most obsessive and enduring directors of all time.
