Who is Woody Allen? He has been called many names: comedic genius, sexual pervert, nerd, moral reprobate, auteur, philosopher, great film-maker. This class will explore the many aspects of his life and work. One question we will consider is, can we appreciate the art or comedy of a person for whom we have serious questions about that person’s moral character. The class will emphasize his early films with a view to understanding and evaluating the person and thought behind them.
