Set in the 1920s and 1930s, the film focuses on Leonard Zelig (Woody Allen), a nondescript man who has the ability to transform his appearance to that of the people who surround him. He is first observed at a party by F. Scott Fitzgerald, who notes that Zelig related to the affluent guests in a thick, refined accent and shared their Republican sympathies, but while in the kitchen with the servants he adopted a ruder tone, and seemed to be more of a Democrat. He soon gains international fame as a "human chameleon".

The film begins on August 6, 1990, the day after the final show of the Blond Ambition Tour in Nice. Madonna cleans up her hotel room while, in a voice-over, she explains that she is not as emotional as the rest of her group over the end of the tour. She has already grieved, she says, but it will hit her later and she hopes she will be in a safe place when it happens.

Ce film inaugure un genre cinématographique : celui de l'essai sur un auteur. L'ambition est de raconter la vie et l'oeuvre de François Truffaut, cinéaste célèbre mais personnage méconnu. Le récit est celui de l'enquête : d'où les nombreux témoignages d'amis ou collaborateurs, membres de la famille du cinéaste, mais également acteurs et actrices, ou ceux d'autres cinéastes se sentant proches de lui. Le montage entrelace les différents points de vue aux extraits de films, documents d'archives et photos inédites, autorisant une certaine forme de récit où la parole des uns répond à celle des autres, soit pour contredire ou nuancer tel propos, soit pour rebondir et enrichir un point de vue.

The film opens with shots of Klaus Kinski performing – after his own interpretation – the role of Jesus. Kinski harangues the audience for not paying attention to him, curses wildly, has the microphone taken away from him, and, screaming, steals it back. Kinski left one of his Jesus tours to star in Herzog's film, Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972). This was the first of five films that the two would make together, the others being Nosferatu the Vampyre (1978); Woyzeck (1978); Fitzcarraldo (1982); and Cobra Verde (1987).
