NEAR MINT - UNSEALED

“In Stardust Memories, Allen confronts the ultimate conundrum of the personal artist: all the stuff that gets in the way of the work becomes part of the work, then becomes essential to it. He kvetches, therefore he is – and therefore he can make a film about it and kvetch some more about doing so.” – Richard Brody, The New Yorker

“Invokes the mood of an early Fellini film…the stylized wistfulness lingers longer than the laughs…starkly handsome and imbued with a very special bravado.” – Janet Maslin, The New York Times

Writer-director Woody Allen plays yet another, more acidic version of himself in Stardust Memories (1980), deliberately invoking Fellini’s 8½ as he tracks a filmmaker’s attempts to deal with celebrity, fandom, the ups-and-downs of his own creative impulses, and his difficult relationships with women. The women are played by a magnificent trio of actresses – Charlotte Rampling, Jessica Harper, and Marie-Christine Barrault; the magnificent black-and-white cinematography is gifted by frequent Allen collaborator, the great Gordon Willis.
