Review of Stardust Memories (1980) by Matt M — 29 Dec 2013
Woody Allen reflects upon himself as an artist with a film freely inspired by 8 1/2 about a filmmaker whose hectic life of being assaulted by fans and critics, he can only seek refuge with his best friend's wife and in his memories of an intense relationhip with a beautiful but insane actress.
Half reflective and half celebratory, this film is almost plotless, but uniquely rewarding, with a poingnant taste for the absurd and psychology with a distinctive cinematography made of lengthy uncut shots and the usual witty fast paced dialogue, though perhaps too demanding for people not fond of the filmmaker.
