Anyone that knows me knows that Woody Allen is probably the biggest inspiration I have in terms of being a filmmaker. This film is no exception. As I'm getting ready to shoot the feature I'm re-watching a lot of stuff that inspires me. This film, if for no other reason than the visuals, is pretty close to the film I'm currently making. Shot completely in documentary style, it's an interesting treat, and I imagine liberating for Woody.
As long as you have great performers you can get away with whatever visual style you want to play in. This film is chock-full of great performances, clever writing, and an inspiring direction. So glad I re-watched it - now I have just to convince the crew to do the same :)
