## Synopsis

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.
