Woody Allen has become such a lazy filmmaker over the past 20 years it's hard at times to remember when he took genuine risks, in script and direction. This is a bold quasi-documentary look at a chameleon like figure.
Technically it's a wonder - the merging of real and fake footage is excellent. Occasionally Allen betrays himself going for the gag over character, falling into his old Love and Death trap.
Mia Farrow is very sweet.Maybe the piece could've done with another fleshed out support character or two.
