From What's Up, Tiger Lily? to Match Point, Woody Allen's work has
generated substantial interest among scholars and professionals who
have written extensively about the director. In The Films of Woody
Allen: Critical Essays, Charles L.P. Silet brings together
two-dozen scholarly articles that address the core of Allen's work
from a variety of cultural and theoretical perspectives. With a
special emphasis on his films of the 1980s, this collection
includes both general essays that examine various themes and issues
encompassed in Allen's repertoire, as well as discussions that
focus on one or two specific films. General essays explore Allen's
Jewish background as a religious and cultural facet, his apparent
love affair with New York City, and his relation to various strains
of humor particularly American film humor, but also Allen's broad
use of such traditional comic tropes as irony and parody. The
essays on individual films include examinations of some of Allen's
most significant work including Love and Death, Annie Hall,
Interiors, Crimes and Misdemeanors, Hannah and Her Sisters,
Manhattan, and Shadows and Fog. A number of the articles collected
here were originally published in now hard to locate places, while
others were selected from journals not usually associated with film
studies. The result is an anthology of essays that presents an
overview of the central issues raised by Allen's body of work as
well as a close examination of fourteen individual films that
convey these larger themes. A wide-ranging exploration of one of
America's most innovative and productive modern directors, this
book should appeal to both professionals and students of
contemporary film comedy."
