Zelig
Plot
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.
About Zelig
Zelig is a 1983 American satirical mockumentary comedy film written by, directed by, and starring Woody Allen as Leonard Zelig, a nondescript enigma, who apparently out of his desire to fit in and be liked unwittingly takes on the characteristics of strong personalities around him. The film, presented as a documentary, recounts his period of intense celebrity during the 1920s, including analyses by contemporary intellectuals. The film received critical acclaim and was nominated for numerous awards, including the Academy Awards for Best Cinematography and Costume Design.
