![]() Woody Allen's new picture, Stardust Memories, is a most curious work, often hilariously funny as only Allen can be. 'Not a fictional character but me, and that I was expressing hostility towards my audience. 'Critics thought that the lead character was me,' the director is quoted as saying in Woody Allen on Woody Allen. He also reflects specifically on his love life as his current girlfriend, married Isobel, shows up unexpectedly, and as he starts to fall for festival attendee Daisy - at the festival with her Columbia professor boyfriend, Jack Abel - who reminds him of Dorrie, a neurotic former girlfriend who he probably considers the one that unfortunately got away. Full Review Original Score: 3/4 Oct 1, 2022. Allen has asserted that Stardust Memories is not an autobiographical work. Despite the throng of requests for his time, he is further able to reflect on his life as he addresses the questions at the post screening Q&A sessions. He reluctantly agrees to attend a weekend long film festival of his movies. A sharp, satirical look at the high price of fame, Woody Allen's Stardust Memories is a 'wickedly funny' (The New York Times) story about a disillusioned filmmaker who is just about at the end of his rope. Most are fighting him all along the way, including the movie going public, who continually tell him that they love his movies especially the earlier funny ones, to studio executives who are trying to insert comic elements wherever possible into his current movie in production. Renowned filmmaker Sandy Bates is in a professional transition, directing largely comedies early in his career now wanting to direct more serious movies so that he can explore the meaning of life, most specifically his own.
