Zelig is a 1983 American mockumentary film written and directed by Woody Allen, and starring Allen and Mia Farrow. Allen plays Zelig, a curiously nondescript enigma who is discovered for his remarkable ability to transform himself to resemble anyone he's near.

The film was shot almost entirely in the style of 1920s-style black and white film newsreels, which are seamlessly interwoven with stock footage from the era, including cleverly-filmed re-enactments of historical events. Narration is likewise largely in newsreel style. While being mostly set in the 1920s, the storyline occasionally shifts to present day (1983) interviews, shot in color.

This is a very cool movie. It's not as all-in-all satisfying or nourishing as, say, Manhattan or Crimes and Misdemeanors, but it's definitely compelling and well worth seeing. And beneath the stylized cinematography and conceptual audacity, it (Zelig's plight) is quite moving.

B+
