在自己的电影中,伍迪艾伦扮演过无数个让人啼笑皆非的角色,然而,在现实中,他究竟是个怎样的人,我们无从而知。同时,不时传出的花边新闻也让这个在影片里絮絮叨叨的男人的身影愈加的模糊起来。影片采访了这些年来和伍迪艾伦合作过的演员和导演们,通过他们的语言拼凑出了一个陌生但真实的伍迪艾伦。

野人蓝调 Wild Man Blues

类型:纪录片电影, 音乐片电影
简介: 《野人蓝调 Wild Man Blues》导演:Barbara Kopple主演:伍迪·艾伦。影片讲述的是伍迪·艾伦带领新奥里纽乐团到欧洲巡演的情形收录的纪录片。
In 1996, with his public image at a low ebb after a messy breakup with Mia Farrow, clarinetist and filmmaker Woody Allen set off on a tour of Europe with his New Orleans jazz band. Accompanying him were his sister, his soon-to-be wife Soon-Yi Previn, and Oscar-winning documentary maker Barbara Kopple. Like Allen says as the beginning of the tour,'Theoretically, this should be fun for us.'
Woody Allen has always been more widely appreciated in Europe than in the U.S., so it's no surprise that the concerts quickly provoke the kind of fan hysteria usually reserved for rock stars. This star however is clearly not comfortable with his fame. Whether he's giving a tour of his lavish hotel suite or prodding at an unexpectedly dry omelet, the director seems profoundly ill at ease and sometimes--when trapped by a crowd or harassed by a particularly persistent photographer--he appears to be both frightened and angry at the way celebrity shapes his life. The pressure to be funny on cue is the bane of any comedian's life, of course, and for Allen the seemingly endless round of receptions and parties is something to be endured, not enjoyed. In the face of this, the mutual support and affection shared by Allen and the woman he introduces as 'the notorious Soon-Yi Previn' comes across as both genuine and absolutely necessary. When they are together, he is at his funniest, and his least guarded.
What persuaded such a private artist to allow such a documentary to be made? Perhaps it was a desire to celebrate his love of music, something that appears to sustain him as much as his relationship with Soon-Yi. He may refuse to bob his head and tap his feet to please his audience, but when he launches into a soaring solo we finally see Allen at ease, transported by the thrill of playing jazz. --Simon Leake
