Two Line Reviews - #269

Movie: Zelig (1983)


 
Plot: There is a man who has the weird talent of becoming (looks-wise & behaviour-wise) anybody he observes and stays close to. The film is a documentary on such a mystifying character.

 
Highlights:
  • Woody Allen makes the character 'Leonard Zelig' an instant legend with his superb essayal.
  • The different characters that Zelig the chamaleon gets into are enjoyable.
  • The narrative style employed - pucca documentary model - clicks big time.
A near-perfect mockumentary!
