Co-presented by STG - Seattle Theatre Group
In anticipation of his appearance at the Paramount, we present this documentary about Woody Allen's glorious jazz ensemble. In the hands of political filmmaker Barbara Kopple (who won two Oscars for her epics American Dream and Union Movement) Wild Man Blues shows us Woody Allen at work and play in his elements, putting on jazz concerts and traveling across Europe. Inevitably, moments that reveal an unguarded Woody Allen appear in the film, referencing his controversial past and personal relationships.
