Spanning landmark works from Annie Hall and Manhattan to Crimes and Misdemeanors, Hannah and Her Sisters, and Deconstructing Harry, this volume chronicles the full arc of Allen's extraordinary output, dissecting the recurring themes of love, death, guilt, and existential dread that animate his filmography.\n\nPart of the acclaimed Pocket Essentials Film series, the book presents Fitzgerald's incisive analysis of Allen's unique authorial voice — a style at once deeply comedic and profoundly melancholic, rooted in the urban anxieties of New York and the traditions of European art cinema. Fitzgerald illuminates the contradictions at the heart of Allen's genius: a man who can transform personal obsession into universal comedy, and whose films continue to provoke debate long after the credits roll. For cinephiles curious about the man behind the glasses, this is an essential companion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130993221851,"sku":"2026100007369-SECONDHAND","price":8.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9d7b4fae-3f32-4b37-b40b-a21884792d3d.png?v=1786593865","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100007369-secondhand-woody-allen","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
