One Of My Favorite Woody Films
Filmmaking at it's most original and finest! Woody Allen's mockumentary precedes Forrest Gump's character assimilation into historical footage by over a decade (Zelig was released theatrically in July of 1983). Genius! Everything about this film is great - the original songs, the aged look of the film, the narration, even the acting (not the Woodman's strong suit) is spot-on. The quirkiest neurotic-romantic-comedy-mock-documentary you'll ever witness. I've never seen this for rent at any store, but if you can find this rarity, watch it! You won't be disappointed!
