- Woody's secret of love and worry

Stardust Memories had obvious been the choice of pet project that Allen wanted United Artists to release instead of Manhattan, where he felt uncomfortable when a tried and tested approach to showcasing his character having a relationship with a young, mature girl underage, was not the right way to go for his reputation. Allen hated Manhattan and made no secret of it with the dealing of this main theme, he was discontent of such vile.

Hence this came along, unlike Manhattan, Stardust Memories is relaxing, often confusing, bizarre and impressive, you feel drawn into the whole persona, of a man who just wants to understand who he really is, is it him that is the fault, his own personality or his awareness of the poor being neglected ...

- Stardust, Indeed...
The last of Woody Allen's great string of movies that began with 'Bananas', containing elements of the whimsical fun of 'Love & Death', the structural piercings of 'Annie Hall', and the emotional turbulence of 'Manhattan'. A neglected treat that is stupidly hard to get hold of, but well worth the effort or expense.

- It actually is Allen's best movie. Masterful.
The Woodmeister himself has declared Stardust Memories one of his best movies, and I have to agree with the funny old ferret. Allen's early career consisted of laugh-a-minute slapstick comedies, which were wonderful (especially Love & Death in 1975); from Manhattan(1979) onwards he toned everything down a bit, replacing the slapstick with human drama, although always leaving in the priceless oneliners. I feel that Stardust Memories is his best film because it manages to meld the comedy and drama together better than all of his other attempts. (I'm not a big fan of Manhattan, I think it's dull; Crimes & Misdemeanors is perhaps his second-best movie-wovie.) There's some out-and-out hilarious comedy, particularly in the scenes that show clip's ... Read More:

- One of Allen's finest films.
Stardust Memories was almost a nail in the coffin for Allen's career- journalists mimicked those in the film regarding who this film was about, while this would be the last film he made for United Artists (who would fold after the failure of Heaven's Gate). It seems very bitter & bleak, after the joys of Annie Hall & Manhattan- perhaps a reaction to the faulure of the Bergman-style Interiors(1978)?

Shot in black&white by Gordon Willis (The Godfather) Stardust Memories resembles Fellini's 8 1/2 - though obviously it's not close to that. Allen plays a comic-filmmaker (who could that be based on, then?) who is celebrated at a film festival one weekend, the film moving on several levels- between films he has made (one with Tony Roberts, ...
