The films of Woody Allen have been interpreted as expressions of deconstructionism, nihilism and postmodern angst. This text challenges these assumptions by arguing that Allen's work is actually an attempt to explore and reconcile the tension between art and life.
For too long, the films of Woody Allen have been interpreted as expressions of deconstructionism, nihilism, and postmodern angst. In this pathbreaking new book, distinguished writer Mary P. Nichols challenges these assumptions by arguing that Allen''s entire body of work, from Play It Again, Sam to Mighty Aphrodite, is actually an attempt to explore and reconcile the tension between art and life. As witty and complex as its subject, Reconstructing Woody shows why Allen, despite his recent personal turmoil, is immensely concerned with human ethics, goodness, and virtue. Ardent fans and strident detractors will view Woody Allen''s films from an entirely new perspective.
