The man who penetrated my dreams and shook my passions8 reading minutes

Le Regard Libre N° 66 - Anaïs Sierro

It's to the sounds of my record player squeaking, Bechet's clarinet and the night rain that I'm about to write this article. The mood is set. Vintage, jazz, romanticism and a theme, that of a director who has fascinated me for many years: Woody Allen. He was the first and only director to offer me films that seemed to come out of my head and his hallucinatory reflections, but also the first to penetrate my dreams and passions. Here's Allen from the «point of view» of what we'd call: an admirer.

Comment ne pas se rendre compte que hormis le cinéma, le jazz fait partie prenante de sa vie? La preuve, son pseudonyme Woody. De naissance Allan Stewart Konigsberg, il doit ce choix au clarinettiste Woody Herman. Une passion qu’il nourrit depuis son adolescence et qui ne cessera de le poursuivre tout au long de sa vie.
