Zelig
You wanted more when it was all over!
Directed by Woody Allen
Produced by Orion Pictures, Jack Rollins & Charles H. Joffe Productions
A playful mockumentary that uses found-footage trickery and period pastiche to explore identity, celebrity, and conformity through the absurd life of a human chameleon.
Fictional documentary about the life of human chameleon Leonard Zelig, a man who becomes a celebrity in the 1920s due to his ability to look and act like whoever is around him. Clever editing places Zelig in real newsreel footage of Woodrow Wilson, Babe Ruth, and others.
