i have just seen the new woody allen movie "zelig" .
in 5 words or less , he has done it again .
the film was definitely worth the $4.50 i had to shell out at the
"beautiful amboy multiplex" ( i probably should have looked around 
for a cheaper place , but i was in a crummy mood and couldn't care less ).
i went in expecting a film very different from the "sleeper" and
"bananas" genre , and was not disappointed . as siskel&ebert put it
...it is not a hilarious film , but a steady stream of hearty chuckles...
( the quote may or may not be precise ) . he does slip into his younger
self occasionally (??????) : 
.....
	i am a doctor [ of psychology - brt.] . and i am expected
	in town . i am treating a very interesting case , two sets
	of siamese twins with split personalities.......
				.......... i'm getting payed by eight people...
.....
in addition to a very solid script , the photography is super ( especially
if you appreciate the films of times past ) , the editing is very good
and the cast is simply excellent !
 one last word of warning , this movie is unusual , sometimes strange ,
but at the same time very optimistic and uplifting . it got me first
smiling and then laughing out loud together with some 20 other strange
souls in that empty theater.
			enjoy,
