Woody Allen - USA 1983 - comedy / mockumentary - 79min.
It 's a fake documentary set in the thirties in New York on Leonard Zelig, jew, who developed the incredible ability to transform into any type of individual is equal before him; scientists studying the case of Zelig interpret the behavior as a psychological mechanism to try to be accepted by the community. The doctor who looks after him, Eudora Fletcher (Mia Farrow), able to treat him and marry him. The whole story is told by a narrator television documentary style, complete with faux vintage footage and interviews with personalities in the intellectual part of them the same.
It 's the most original film of Allen, a masterpiece of technology: thanks to the excellent special effects and an amazing assembly is credibilissima historical reconstruction. It 's a fairly complex movie that's not clear where he wants to end up, perhaps it is the History of the difficulty of integration of Jews into American society?
The suspicion is that it is more like a performance by the egomaniac genius of the director and his overflowing imagination. To limit the exercise of style, is a film to take or leave.
Rating: 3 / 5
