Eric Lax’s new book of interviews with Woody Allen, along with recent collections of Allen’s fiction and prose, helps burnish the director’s legacy. Allen is a big Orson Welles fan - he tells Lax he considers Citizen Kane the greatest American film ever made - and Conversations With Woody Allen is essentially the Woodman’s chance to do his version of This Is Orson Welles, a magnificent book (published in 1992) that collected years of talk between the orotund Kane auteur and his interlocutor-protégé, Peter Bogdanovich.
And what Lax has produced is a marvel of intimacy and insight: a book that traces Allen's career from his precocious start as a gag writer to his apotheosis as a genuine auteur; a book that takes readers behind the scenes of films such as Annie Hall.
