New Blu-ray release from Twilight Time

As is typical of most filmmakers, the further you go back into their oeuvre, the more interesting titles you’ll begin to find. Made toward the end of his more unusual and experimental period (which includes What’s Up, Tiger Lily?), Zelig is one of those rare comedies (but not rare for Allen) that’s both incredibly odd, quirky, amusing, but hinting at something far more philosophical than you might expect from a film whose biggest gag comes from Leonard Zelig awkwardly waving to one face in a sea of thousands as he sits behind Adolf Hitler. Zelig demands more than one viewing to fully appreciate its eccentricity and retain all the on-screen gags, so we’re lucky that Twilight Time has given it a new home with their fine blu-ray release: http://www.cutprintfilm.com/blu/zelig-blu-ray/
