Woody Allen

[kid-glove]

Isn't the film about the very difficulty of 'characterizing' the artist? Especially an Artist who is a lousy prick, & as emotional reclusive as Emmet. "Emmet is an artist and because he's an artist he needs no one", isn't the film about that 'lack of connection'? Samantha's character functions as that 'connection', standing in for the audience, who have one-way connection with the Emmet, deriving pleasure from his work but the latter refutes to seek approval or meaningful exchange. Especially an Artist who is as gifted as Emmet, second only to Django..

I like both his pseudo-documentary work, Zelig & this..
