The script of Woody Allen's life

By Loris S. Musumeci · October 02, 2020

This is not an autobiography of any kind. The character's own story is certainly part of it, but it's not the whole story. As impressive as Woody Allen's cinema is, it doesn't make for such a pleasure to read a 534-page pamphlet that's not divided into parts or chapters. Not a work of memory, but a work of entertainment. The director once again takes on the role of writer to romanticize a life that is as hilarious as it is ridiculous, and therefore touching. To read Soit dit en passant is to have a good time laughing and bonding with the main character.
