It’s probably best not to worry about it too much and just go with the flow!The story is about a famous director who has a nervous breakdown; he revisits the loves of his life, searching for some harmony and sense to it all. Where ever he goes he is bombarded by his fans for autographs and showered with questions – his manners here are exemplary all things considered – you can certainly see why some stars shun public life?The plot, if any is told through a series of flashbacks, fantasy sequences, his own movie clips and mental snatches from his breakdown - in no particular order!We take Woody’s humour for granted of course but the B&W cinematography in this film is quite stunning. It was filmed by Gordon Willis, who has helped make many of Woody’s films, but is most famous for the ‘Godfather’ trilogy.The ‘shooting’ is most memorable for its ‘Strange Days,’ almost nightmarish, grotesque, close ups of the crowds’ faces, as they surround the popular director in the public areas. It highlights their strange and surreal characteristics – I can still see one woman with outlandishly huge glasses and people with all sorts of ridiculous hair styles, large noses, crooked teeth etc. It’s just fascinating to see and take in. It’s a never ending flow of wonderful caricatures.This is a film that will linger with you for a long time, and you’ll soon realise that to enjoy it to the max it doesn’t have to make too much sense – as indeed, a breakdown certainly wouldn’t?This is as good as any of Woody Allen’s 5 star efforts and by his own admission is one of his favourites and is NOT about himself. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Woody at his bitter best *by F***F on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 July 2013* Stardust Memories (1980) for me is one of Woody Allen's very best films even though it doesn't seem to have dazzled critics in the same way as Manhattan or Annie Hall. The humor is bitter - verging on sour - as we chart the visit of film director Sandy Bates (Woody himself) to a festival held in his honor. Everyone congratulates him on his previous funny movies that now he'd rather forget, intent as he is on making 'serious' films. At this stage of his career Woody had had enough of the celebrity side of the film business and used the film to vent his bile on all his pet hates. In between the sycophants and fan geeks who latch on to him like leeches, Woody takes us through the women of his life, most significantly the manic depressive Dorrie (a superbly neurotic Charlotte Rampling), his current mistress, Isobel (a sexy and very feminine Marie-Christine Barrault) and the inevitable young new attraction, Daisy (Jessica Harper). His perceptions are by turn witty, poignant, bitter-sweet and revealing about the mechanisms that lie behind this nebbish schlemiel from the Bronx. His ripping-off of 8 1/2 enraged the Fellini family at the time, but it didn't stop Woody from later ripping off La Strada for Sweet and Lowdown as well! Also, there is a fair bit of borrowing from Ingmar Bergman, most notably in the 2 minute close up jump-cut feast on Dorrie's face. At the time many attacked Woody's stealing from his favorite European directors. Looking back after 30 years or so however and his 'stealing' now seems vindicated because he still managed to turn his films into something both honest to himself and uniquely American. He had spent much of the early 70s churning out 'funnies' such as Sleeper, Bananas and Love and Death. It now seems obvious that Woody felt his Oscar for Annie Hall and the critical acclaim for Manhattan allowed him to go beyond his stand-up comic routine and make exactly what he wanted to. The fact that the totally serious Bergman-inflected Interiors bombed (it's a very good film by the way) no doubt forms the core inspiration for the sarcasm showcased in Stardust Memories. Far from being a 'steal' the film now seems a remarkably honest portrait of the artist at that stage of his career in 1979. Going back to it after watching his more recent efforts (superficial fluff like Whatever Works, Scoop!, Cassandra's Dream and Anything Else?), it comes as a wonderful blast of fresh air from the past. In the late 70s and early 80s he really was one of the best around. I urge anyone who hasn't seen this film to buy it and see how good he used to be. The soundtrack is wonderful as per usual, Gordon Willis's b/w photography looks fabulous and the jokes come thick and fast. It's one to relish, especially at this give away price... --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/62628259-stardust-memories-dvd](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/62628259-stardust-memories-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
