- THERE’S something for everyone in a definitive look back at the career of one of American cinema’s most prolific and enduring directors Woody Allen: A Documentary.
For newcomers to Woody Allen’s extensive oeuvre, there is firsthand insight into his unique creative process from muses such as Diane Keaton (Annie Hall), Mariel Hemingway (Manhattan) and Scarlett Johansson (Vicky Cristina Barcelona).
Allen devotees get a rare opportunity to see the 76-year-old Oscar winner stroll around his old neighbourhood, pointing out his favourite childhood haunts and candidly reflecting on his career highs and lows.
While there have been fewer hits down the years than he might have hoped for, Allen’s tireless work ethic and raw passion for cinema form the emotional crux of this exceptional documentary portrait, which is showing at Southampton’s Harbour Lights Picturehouse on Monday at 6.30pm.
- How do you feel if you are living in a dilapidated flat in direct view of the glistening new structures of the Olympic Park? How do you feel if you are helping construct it?
You might just think the perfect world of the future is so close, yet so far away from your life. If you are Bill – that just might make you go wild.
The next offering from Winchester Film Society is Dexter Fletcher’s Wild Bill, a 2011 British drama.
Wild Bill will be screened at the Planetarium at Winchester Science Centre on Tuesday at 8pm.
