I love the look of it as well as a lot of those references to <i>8 1/2</i>thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-45346000788761400252012-03-08T00:37:13.645-08:002012-03-08T00:37:13.645-08:00Great review!

I love Stardust Memories it's in my top 3 of Allen's movies, it's so enchanting and elegant and that prologue is just briliant.s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-31074539463187182862012-03-07T12:28:21.690-08:002012-03-07T12:28:21.690-08:00@Sam-It's a film that either Woody Allen fans ...@Sam-It's a film that either Woody Allen fans love or hate but I liked it. I thought it was a great piece of commentary on fame and art.<br /><br />@Alex-That scene with Charlotte Rampling doing her monologue is my favorite part of the film. I just love that woman and she still looks great. I would still totally want to sleep with her.<br /><br />@CS-Everyone can have their hits and misses but when Woody has hits and it's good, the dude proves why he is among one of the best working today. When he's bad, it makes you question "what the fuck was he thinking?".<br /><br />I had tried to write a review of this film years ago that was supposed involve an episode of MTV's <i>Celebrity Deathmatch</i> (anyone remember that). It involved Woody being a special referee in a filmmaker's battle between Quentin Tarantino and Spike Lee as Allen was getting his ass kicked as Lee says, "man, I liked your older, funnier movies more". I was like, "oh, like he hadn't heard that before". Once Soon-Yi told Woody to get back up or no loving tonight, the man snapped and killed Lee and Tarantino. That was funny!thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-61518627930444084042012-03-07T10:15:35.680-08:002012-03-07T10:15:35.680-08:00I love this film.

I think I would get even more out of it than I did the first few times I watched the film. Sure Woody had his mixture of flops in the late 90's/early 00's but there is no denying he has a plethora of stellar films in his canon.Courtney Smallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00045575858464121137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-67777307487656916742012-03-07T07:15:29.617-08:002012-03-07T07:15:29.617-08:00Great review!

That monologue Rampling has, looking into the camera, the editing constantly jump-cutting... amazing.Alex Withrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887018476048271594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-84823129376057504592012-03-07T00:15:24.631-08:002012-03-07T00:15:24.631-08:00I suspect a second viewing of STARDUST is in order...I suspect a second viewing of STARDUST is in order. It's certainly pays tribute to 8 1/2 - but it seemed to lack a story worth getting invested in. None of the romantic bits worked - and while I appreciate the idea of moving onto more serious works, STARDUST MEMORIES was kind of a misfire.<br /><br />Especially considering Annie Hall and Manhattan come before it (somewhat disregarding Interiors).<br /><br />Love Allen though.Sam Fragosohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09974858608988634583noreply@blogger.com
