Ph. Dariusz Khondji

Unfairly underrated film proves Woody to be as creative as ever at 76, with four stories connected to the idea of celebrity, filled with irony. Shower-singing tenor both hilarious and surreal. Plot turns are unpredictable and brilliant. Some great lines appear in the subtitles, e.g. "something to tell my grandchildren about!"
