Writer-director Woody Allen plays yet another, more acidic version of himself in Stardust Memories (1980), deliberately invoking Fellini’s 8½ as he tracks a filmmaker’s attempts to deal with celebrity, fandom, the ups-and-downs of his own creative impulses, and his difficult relationships with women. “Invokes the mood of an early Fellini film…the stylized wistfulness lingers longer than the laughs…starkly handsome and imbued with a very special bravado.” – Janet Maslin, The New York Times He kvetches, therefore he is – and therefore he can make a film about it and kvetch some more about doing so.” – Richard Brody, The New Yorker Medley: The Jean Genie / Love Me Do / The Jean Genie (feat.“In Stardust Memories, Allen confronts the ultimate conundrum of the personal artist: all the stuff that gets in the way of the work becomes part of the work, then becomes essential to it.
