Destins tordus

Annie Hall, c'est le nom de la jeune provinciale écervelée et un peu ringard, jouée par Diane Keaton dont Alvy Singer, véritable double de Woody Allen et représenté par le cinéaste lui-même, tombe amoureux, créant du même coup un personnage promis à une longue prospérité. Alvy est un écrivain juif new-yorkais, la quarantaine douloureuse, deux ex-femmes, quinze ans d'analyse, hanté par la mort, l'apocalypse et le big bang, Kafka, le sexe... et Le chagrin et la pitié. Il n'a de cesse de créer des obstacles à son histoire d'amour avec Annie Hall...

Before Woody Allen set his sights on becoming the next Ingmar Bergman, he made a fleeting (but largely successful) attempt at becoming the next S.J Perelman. Side Effects, his third and final collection of humor pieces, shows his efforts. These essays appeared in The New Yorker during the late 1970s, as he showed more and more discontent with his funnyman status. Fear not, humor fans--Allen's still funny. He is less manic, however, than in his positively goofy Getting Even/Without Feathers days, and this makes Side Effects a more nuanced read. Woody picks and chooses when to flash the laughs. Though not as explosively, mind-alteringly funny as his earlier books, Side Effects is still loaded with chuckles; the much-anthologized "Kugelmass Episode" is worth the price of the book. For fans of his films--or for anyone who wants a final glimpse of Woody in his first, best role as court jester, Side Effects is a must-have. --Michael Gerber

A collection of 52 pieces of writing displaying Woody Allen's own brand of humour.
