Vet inte riktigt vilket ben jag ska stå på i övergrepps-målet dock. Han beskriver dock sin sida ganska så bra. Tyvärr blir det lite ensidigt när alla skådespelare han jobbat med under årens lopp i princip är helt underbara. ( ) On memoir as a kind of "Novel in Retreat." Evidently not very much interested in 'memory' ('memoir' not apropos) as much as displaying interest in the screed — we are further troubled that the author appears more interested in what the screed does than in what the screed is, which he appears to mistake for something he has put on the page and not something already displaced into its second movement (see Bernhard), and not as funny as I would have liked. To cut a long story short: a funny guy with glasses makes films and out with quite a few women. His ex chucks hissy fit when one these women is her adopted daughter. Lawyers get rich. This is the inside goss. I first became aware of Woody Allen when I hear, self-deprecating humour about shrinks and embarrassing moments. I've never seen any of his films, but know there was a scandal about him marrying the adopted daughter of what I imagined was his wife; I did not pay much attention. Inappropriate I assumed. Anyway, this book popped up on my library feed, and so I read it. It reads a lot like what I heard 30+ years ago. There are some boring bits - lots of names of people in film. However, I am glad I read it.
Woody allen’s memoir, Apropos of Nothing, is three things: a lively and deeply interesting account of his development as an artist; a lengthy, lurid, and vengeful denial of the child-abuse charges brought against him 30 years ago; and a worthwhile overview of his artistic output since then. It’s an intensely involving book. And one that we almost didn’t get to read. Bemerkenswerte Listen
The long-awaited, enormously entertaining memoir by one of the great artists of our time. In this candid and often hilarious memoir, the celebrated director, comedian, writer, and actor offers a comprehensive, personal look at his tumultuous life. Beginning with his Brooklyn childhood and his stint as a writer for the Sid Caesar variety show in the early days of television, working alongside comedy greats, Allen tells of his difficult early days doing standup before he achieved recognition and success. With his unique storytelling pizzazz, he recounts his departure into moviemaking, with such slapstick comedies as Take the Money and Run, and revisits his entire, sixty-year-long, and enormously productive career as a writer and director, from his classics Annie Hall, Manhattan, and Annie and Her Sisters to his most recent films, including Midnight in Paris. Along the way, he discusses his marriages, his romances and famous friendships, his jazz playing, and his books and plays. We learn about his demons, his mistakes, his successes, and those he loved, worked with, and learned from in equal measure. This is a hugely entertaining, deeply honest, rich and brilliant self-portrait of a celebrated artist who is ranked among the greatest filmmakers of our time.
