To Woody Allen from Europe with Love (1980)

meta before meta was coolcerebral cat-and-mousereluctant confessional

Overview

Documentary

Initiated by producer-director Pierre Drouot, Woody Allen for the very first time agrees to let a filmmaker, Belgium's André Delvaux, film him during one of his own productions, Stardust Memories. Woody talks about his work, always steering clear of the anecdotal or the private.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

This was Delvaux's only documentary; he spent his career making fiction films about memory and obsession, so of course he was drawn to Woody's.

Insight

The 1.0 TMDB rating is almost certainly vote brigading from Allen's post-2018 cancellation, not actual 1980s viewers — making the film's subject (public image vs. private reality) ironically prophetic.
