Stardust Memories is a 1980 film written and directed by Woody Allen, who considers this to be one of his best films in addition to The Purple Rose of Cairo and Match Point.[1] The film is shot in black-and-white, particularly reminiscent of Federico Fellini's 8½ (1963), which it parodies. It was nominated for a Writers Guild of America award for "Best Comedy written directly for screen".

It is the story of a famous filmmaker Sandy Bates (Allen), who is plagued by fans who prefer his "earlier, funnier movies" to his more recent artistic efforts, while he tries to reconcile his conflicting attraction to two very different women: the earnest, intellectual Daisy (Jessica Harper), and the more maternal Isobel (Marie-Christine Barrault). Meanwhile, he is also haunted by memories of his ex-girlfriend, the mercurial Dorrie (Charlotte Rampling).

  • 2:10 amazing. hahaaaaafsdf

  • @goback3spaces My hilarious second mother in law saw HANNAH and her rude comments in Yiddish were worth a million! Wow, did she hate it. Often, movies I don't like are like books I cannot read so it is fun to try later. I hated DECONSTRUCTING the first time I saw it but looked again and loved it and kept seeing it. So, go figure. I thought MANHATTAN MURDER MYSTERY was brilliant and saw it when it came out and cannot wait to see it again. I wonder if I will still like it?

  • @CuteCatFaith I'm in accord with your comment. But not everybody fell for this. Woody diehards who love everything he does also liked this one, but it got a lot of bad reviews back in the day. A few years later, when I was in college, HANNAH AND HER SISTERS got scads of great reviews and I remember hating it even more than STARDUST MEMORIES. In retrospect, HANNAH was one of the key films that turned me off to filmgoing in general.

  • This scene is an offense to MY NIGHT AT MAUD'S and COUSIN COUSINE

  • More than 30 years later, I confirm, this movie stinks. Egad. People fell for this? I had a lousy feeling when I saw it, and from another CONTINENT, I say feh. The comment on the previous segment about Charlotte Rampling maybe being a man was interesting. Men love her. So be it! What a horrendouse dud this move is. Thank you for posting, however! Really. Just sayin'. What do I know?

  • Children scene is probably the one I really liked

  • 6:48 - my favorite scene, very bittersweet, touching.

  • :52 lol
