Synopsis

Watch: Stardust Memories 1980 123movies, Full Movie Online – 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. 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. He reluctantly agrees to attend a weekend long film festival of his movies. 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 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..
Plot: While attending a retrospect of his work, a filmmaker recalls his life and his loves: the inspirations for his films.

Stardust Memories (1980) ***
A self-indulgent yet enjoyable fantasy by Woody Allen, where he models his style after Fellini’s “8 1/2”. Allen plays a world famous film star/director not unlike his real self, who’s now approached a mid-life crisis and has tired of making “funny movies”. Though he’s become embittered, he reluctantly agrees to be the guest of honor at a weekend celebration where the best of his films are going to be shown. While there he has to contend with sycophants, obnoxious autograph seekers, childhood flashbacks and different women on a surreal journey to self-realization. Woody received some hard knocks from fans and critics for making this type of highly personal movie, but I think it’s very stylish and dream-like. Photographed in glorious black and white. *** out of ****

Woody Allen’s Mid-Life Crisis: THE MOVIE
It’s no secret that Woody Allen tends to make his films somewhat autobiographical of his own life and personal experiences, but Stardust Memories takes it to the next level. It is basically a complete reflection of Allen’s state of mind in 1980. The movie is about a film director named Sandy Bates, who is starting to have anxiety about what he is doing for a living and starts to question its purpose. He goes into a retrospective recluse about his previous work and begins to recall all the things that influence his love of film. I wasn’t alive in 1980 and I didn’t know Woody Allen in 1980, but if you can’t call this autobiographical to the extreme, I don’t know what you can.

Stardust Memories is an odd film because it really has no storyline. It is told in an anecdotal narrative style as Bates recalls different moments in his life as new moments arise and influence him. He considers all the different oddities that inspired him to make the popular films he’s made. There are a lot of different women in Bates’ life and they all have various amounts of influence on him as a filmmaker, and the whole film is told through these stories about women he’s encountered or loved in the past. After a while you start to think, what is the point of all this? The film doesn’t seem to be going anywhere after a while, and it all boils down to just a lot of retrospect and internal conflict more than anything else. It feels as though Woody Allen made this film for himself rather than anybody else. And there isn’t necessarily anything wrong with that, but to the viewer it’s not very appealing.

One of the biggest issues with this film is that Woody Allen’s character, Sandy Bates, isn’t likable. He’s a complete narcissist and is completely full of himself. He doesn’t necessarily convey it outwardly dramatically, but he has a constant aura of egotistical jerk that is impossible to really connect with. He feels detached from the world and it makes it difficult to relate to his conflict, but that really just goes back to the fact that this is a film for Woody, not a film for the audience. And that’s a paradox that just doesn’t work with me, and it only made me feel like this film was a waste of time.

Artistically this film doesn’t have a whole lot going for it either. It has your typical Woody Allen nuances, but not to the level that some of his other great films have. It doesn’t stick to one specific style and its thoughts seem a little scattered. It is shot in black and white which was interesting, but eventually got to the point where it served no purpose. Visually there was nothing in this film that gave me that fascination or ‘wow’ reaction that Allen’s films typically incite in me. There are undoubtedly some well designed moments of the film with shots that made me nod my head in appreciation, but it doesn’t have that consistent visual style that other Woody Allen films have.

Allen was 45 years old when he made this film. I think you could definitely call it his mid-life crisis movie. All of the thoughts that were whizzing around in Allen’s mind at that point in his neurotic life are conveyed and put into a script through Stardust Memories. For Allen I’m sure this film was a huge success that probably helped him sort through his life and allow his mind to clamber out of that jumbled crisis it was going through. But for me as the viewer I didn’t get much of anything out of this film. Allen’s intentions were clear, but the movie felt like a waste of time.
