About the Authors

Sam Girgus argues that Allen has consistently been on the cutting edge of contemporary critical and cultural consciousness. Allen continues to challenge notions of authorship, narrative, perspective, character, theme, ideology, gender and sexuality. This revised and updated edition includes two new chapters that examine Allen's work since 1992. Girgus thoughtfully asserts that the scandal surrounding Allen's personal life in the early 1990s has altered his image in ways that reposition moral consciousness in his work.
- Woody Allen is a popular, well known film maker, who continues to make films
- Second edition has been revised since the scandal and a number of new films
- Deals with the work of Woody Allen in a scholarly, yet accessible manner
