Woody Allen's tenth film as writer/director, Stardust Memories opens with a scene reminiscent of the opening of 8 1/2 and continues to use that film for inspiration. Sandy Bates (Allen) sits in a trai... read more

Sandy Bates: You can't control life. It doesn't wind up perfectly. Only-only art you can control. Art and masturbation. Two areas in which I am an absolute expert.
Stardust Memories isn't a movie that jumps to mind when you think about Woody Allen. It is nowhere near his best a... read more
Dear Mr. Allen,
Your film is famous for it's quote "I don't want to make funny movies anymore. I look around and all I see is human suffering."
And you're right, the world is filled with suffering, and that's exactly why you should make comedies. If I wanted to see human suffe... read more
Some scenes/shots remind me of Fellini. Some, of Bergman. The typical (and great) Woody Allenīs "philoshopical comedy". One of his best films.
And a plus: Charlotte Rampling is stunning!

Sorry, but I fell asleep. It reminded me of 8 1/2 but in the end I was forced to admit I like his "older, funnier films" better myself.
The right balance between the wacky old Woody and the more serious one.
I understand that Woody Allen is very fond of this film. It has good moments but it was too much like 8 1/2 and too self indulgent for me to really like it.
I didn't really like this. I'm reluctant to call it bad though, because I clearly did not understand all of it. And yes, I have seen 8 1/2. There were some funny lines, which is to be expected.
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 8 1/2 (1963), which it parodies.It is the story of a... read more
So many of the bit roles are so funny (stalker in the bed, brother-in-law on bike) but the photography is too showy. The two elements clashed too much.
I will always remember how strikingly beautiful and striking Charlotte Rampling is in this movie. I saw it when I was 14 years old and will never forget the shots of here in the apartment. At the time I never realized how extraordinary the characters in his stories are, until you... read more
With its blunt, artless angst, the picture leaves you feeling depleted, squashed. Full Review
It's the first Woody Allen film in which impotence has become the situation rather than the problem. This is a movie about a guy who has given up. Full Review
Invokes the mood of an early Fellini film as it swirls through the troubled recollections of a film director, played by Mr. Allen. Full Review
Woody Allen pays tribute to Fellini's seminal 81/2 in this stylized, self-reflexive, often irritating feature. Full Review
Allen never seemed more indulgent, posturing, or physically repulsive -- and yet all the film's many strengths lie in its anatomisation of this nasty display. Full Review
A disappointing outing, despite its many laughs and inside jokes. Full Review
Woody at his most autobiographical. Full Review
One long cry of anguish about the price of fame comes perilously close to self-pity. And self-abuse. Full Review
An overlooked Woody Allen gem
