7th June 2005

A fake documentary about a fictional person who has a very unusual mental disorder that's exceptionally difficult to explain by typing. The film marks a good crossing point for Woody Allen's film making with a move from comedy to more serious efforts and whilst this film doesn't lose the comedy it shares central stage with Allen's usual philosophising as questions arise about morality, individuality and celebrity amongst other things. Underrated IMO.
