Storyline
Iconic writer, director, actor, comedian, and musician Woody Allen allowed his life and creative process to be documented on-camera for the first time. With this unprecedented access, Emmy-winning, Oscar-nominated filmmaker Robert Weide followed the notoriously private film legend over a year and a half to create the ultimate film biography. Woody Allen: A Documentary chronicles Allen's career - from teen writer to Sid Caeser's TV scribe, from standup comedian to award-winning writer-director averaging one film-per-year for more than 40 years. Exploring Allen's writing habits, casting, directing, and relationship with his actors first-hand, new interviews with A-listers, writing partners, family and friends provide insight and backstory to the usually inscrutable filmmaker.

Edit
As a fan of Woody Allen I was bitterly disappointed by this travesty of a film.
After the stuff about Woody's childhood days I couldn't take anymore. The film had been dragging and going nowhere since it started.
Like many other reviewers have said, Woody Allen: A Documentary is no where near 'funny' or entertaining, its just a massive bore and headache.
I got tired of those stupid long camera zooms as well. I think you have to be seriously mentally impaired to like this film, either that or you've been paid off to give the film a good review.
An utter failure of a film.
