Plot

A mock documentary about a man who changes to match those around him.

Sinekatalog’s take

Woody Allen's mock documentary follows a man who becomes whoever is around him. Technically clever and very funny, its fake archive footage and interviews make a sharp satire on conformity.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
