Woody Allen’s Zelig is a light-hearted,
tongue-in-cheek mockumentary told through a veritable 1930s-style news reel. Despite being a simple love story at heart,
Allen’s film demonstrates remarkable subtlety of theme about a common man who
expresses his desire to fit in to society by literally adopting the
characteristics of others. Zelig not only entertains, but manages
to expose the desires of every human being through the fantastic journey of one
human chameleon.
