WOODY ALLEN:A LIFE IN FILM
Book ID/图书代码： 03890004B03962
English Summary/英文概要： In an unprecedented television program last year, Woody Allen spoke to the camera for the first time about the entire range of his work, in an interview with Richard Schickel, the distinguished film critic and historian. Mr. Allen talked about how he does it, why he does it, its roots in his early life, and his current thinking about the state of his art. The result Woody Allen: A Life in Film, was one of the most popular and critically acclaimed programs in the history of Turner Classic Movies. But the presentation contained only a small fraction of Mr. Schickel’s four-hour interview with the famed writer-director-actor. This new book reprints the complete conversation between the two men and includes a long essay of introduction by Mr. Schickel, which places Woody Allen’s entire career in critical perspective. Readers will find Mr. Allen’s reflections on his major preoccupations—the battle of the sexes; the conflict between reality and fantasy in his major films; mortality, religion, and the role that chance plays in the unfolding of our lives. The book also offers insights into Mr. Allen’s working methods as a writer and the growth of his skills as a director, as well as his assessment of himself as an actor and his surprising views of his long life in the public eye. Brief but sharply honed, Woody Allen: A Life in Film is an essential book for anyone seeking to understand the life and times of one of the most important and least understood American filmmakers of our era.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在去年一次史無前例的電視節目中，伍迪•艾倫第一次面對鏡頭談到了他自己的全部系統工作，在這次與理查•什克爾的訪談中，是著名的影評家和歷史學家的一次對話。艾倫先生他是如何完成作品的，他為何製作電影，這些都來源於他的早期生活，以及他目前對於藝術現狀的思考。《伍迪•艾倫成就：電影人生》曾是特納經典電影頻道歷史上最受歡迎的一部影評節目。但報告裡只有小部分是什克爾先生和這位著名的，集編劇-導演-演員以一身的大師的四個小時隨訪記錄。這部最新的版本的自傳轉載了這二位元的完整對話，而且其中還包括了什克爾先生對伍迪的長篇介紹，其中還透析了伍迪•艾倫的整個藝術生涯歷程。讀者將會發現艾倫先生對於他兩性之爭的主題反思；在他的主要電影作品中幻想與現實；死亡，宗教信仰的衝突，以及有幸參與角色扮演了展示我們的現實生活。這本自傳還洞悉了艾倫先生作為一位編劇家的工作方法和作為一位導演他所具備的才能，以及他對於自己作為一個演員的自我評定和他處於公眾視線下自己對於漫長一生的驚人觀點。自我評述簡短而犀利直觀，《伍迪•艾倫：電影人生》是對於任何一位正在探尋生命真諦，和我們這個時代最重要的，最瞭解我們需求的一位美國電影製作者的一本必不可少的書。

Awards/获奖情况：伍迪•艾倫這個名字，只要是稍稍熟悉美國電影的影迷，多少都會聽說過這個傳奇人物。而市場上能見到的伍迪作品也不在少數，甚至多達十餘種，尤其他最近的一些作品，更是一部不落。說起這位鼎鼎大名的導演，影迷們大多只是用“天才”、“牛”，甚至“大師”來表達他們的尊敬，然後多半就緘口不言。對於一位美國猶太知識份子，我們顯然還很難徹底瞭解他的思想脈絡和文化背景，從而他的作品顯露出的特質和優異之處，我們很多時候也只是感覺到，而恐怕也不能象艾倫在美國猶太知識份子圈內的那些忠實觀眾一樣能夠會心一笑"A breezy, readable entry to Allen’s vast bibliography...with an excellent Introduction and Afterword."---Richard A.
