	Stardust Memories - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stardust Memories is a film written and directed by Woody Allen which was released in 1980; Allen considers this to be one of his best films in addition to The Purple Rose of Cairo.
		Among the extended cast members was an ingenue named Sharon Stone, in her first film appearance, future political commentator Alan Colmes ("Hannity and Colmes," the Fox News Channel) in his first role, and a young Brent Spiner, later famous as the character "Lieutenant Commander Data" on the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation.
		Stardust Memories largely draws influence from the films of Federico Fellini, one of Allen's favorite directors.

		Moving from the monochrome nostalgia of Manhattan (1979), Stardust Memories shifts register and plays upon the art-house associations of fl and white; the film assumes a chromatic cinematic gravity, contributing to the more general and reflexive interest of the film in directorial authorship.
		The accusation that Stardust Memories reveals Allen's own hostility to his audience (a view based mainly on his depiction of sycophantic film buffs and adulating fans) does not do justice to the metacritical nuances of the film.
		However, to suggest that Stardust Memories is a platform for Allen's directorly grievances, especially his attitude towards critics and fans, misses the point.

		Dust captured in the Stardust mission is captured at speeds 6 times faster than the fastest rifle bullets and at Halley the impact speeds would have been over 60 times faster.

	Stardust Memories
		Stardust Memories is Allen's most self-confessional film (I will later make a strong case Stardust is more autobiographical than even Husbands and Wives or Deconstructing Harry, if only because it manages to cover a wider array of topics and ideas, particularly Allen's career and his responsibilities as an artist).
		Stardust Memories' opening sequence is the ending of a rough cut screening of a famous film director's new film, this time a drama instead of comedy.
		Stardust Memories is Allen's best, most thorough, and most effective balancing of comedy and drama, surpassing even Crimes and Misdemeanors and Hannah and Her Sisters.

		The Stardust Hotel-Casino owned and operated the facility for most of its existence, using it to attract high-rollers in the manner that today's resorts might use a championship golf course or upscale shopping mall to perform the same function.
		As Gurney said, the rugged desert landscape from which the Stardust course was carved could make "the marbles," as drivers call the bits and pieces of tire rubber, stones and dust that accumulate outside the racing groove, look as big as boulders.
		It was the beginning of the end for Stardust, and it was the end as far as major road racing at the track.

		For audiences and critics in 1980, Stardust Memories was Allen’s most difficult film yet, a challenging, allusive excursus on the creative intellect prompted by box office kudos and full of the Freudianism and in-joking that Allen had made his own.
		At the center of Stardust Memories are the thoughts of Woody Allen’s character Sandy Bates, a celebrated film director attending a far-flung festival of his work, conflicted over his next film, unable to choose between the women in his life.
		Stardust Memories is a cacophony of voices from movie executives to UFO spotters, fans to psychoanalysts, visiting aliens to Sandy’s relatives.

	Stardust Memories (1980)
		Coming after the popular and cultural successes of Annie Hall and Manhattan, Woody Allen surprised, and some say slapped, his audience with Stardust Memories, a dark little comedy about the pitfalls of fame, the pressures on a filmmaker, and, of course, the frustrations of love.
		Through it all, he's haunted by the memory of Dorrie (Charlotte Rampling), a beautiful-but-crazy ex-girlfriend who left him for a doctor she met in the mental hospital.
		After trying to convince the studio to leave his dour drama alone, answering endless ridiculous questions about his work ("why are all comedians hostile or latent homosexuals?") and smiling through the endless demands of his public, he runs away from the conference with Daisy where he chances upon a group awaiting an alien encounter.

		I would, in fact, argue that Stardust Memories is visually the most gorgeous of all Allen's films — even more stunning than Manhattan, which had New York and a planetarium to work with and thus received a sort of compositional head start.
		As Stardust Memories opens, Sandy Bates is grappling with the studios over his latest film, which is deeply (and ham-fistedly) serious and symbolic (touches of Sullivan's Travels?) and involves train passengers at a garbage dump.
		Stardust Memories is a movie laden with showy craftsmanship that makes fun of showy craftsmanship — but, in my opinion, also succeeds as showy craftsmanship.

		Probably, but no matter; he clearly intends Stardust Memories to be his 8-1/2, and it develops as a portrait of the artist's complaints.
		Stardust Memories inspires that kind of frustration, though, because it's the first Woody Allen film in which impotence has become the situation rather than the problem.
		There's a scene where Allen remembers a wonderful spring morning spent with a former love (Charlotte Rampling), and how he looked up in his apartment to see her there, and for a moment felt that life was perfect.

		The scientists who study these grains of ancient stardust are a breed apart from the astronomers who rely on telescopes to gather information about the stars.
		Calling themselves "cosmochemists," these scientists bring stardust into the laboratory, where they examine the structure and composition of the dust grains with electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction and ion microprobes (which permit the measurement of various isotopes in the grains).
		Roy Lewis and his colleagues at the University of Chicago were among the first to isolate and identify a type of presolar stardust back in 1987.

	FilmJunkies DVD Review - Stardust Memories (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Fresh off his stunning masterpiece “Manhattan” (which like “Memories” was shot in fl and white), Allen took liberties with United Artists and decided to make a film that would be more abstract, avant-garde, confusing, and less commercially viable.
		“Stardust Memories” is a collection of experiments; whatever Allen is interested in at the time is thrown into the movie’s stew.
		“Stardust Memories” is probably not the first Allen movie to watch, but is important to view when seeing the whole cannon of his works.

	Woody Allen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Many, like September and Stardust Memories, are often said to be heavily influenced by the works of European directors, most notably Ingmar Bergman and Federico Fellini.
		Stardust Memories was considered by many to be a biting piece of work in which the main character (played by Allen) expresses resentment and scorn for his fans.
		His 1992 film Shadows and Fog is an homage to Fritz Lang, G.W. Pabst and F.W. Murnau, and the German expressionists.

	Eye - Stardust memories - 05.15.03
		But even if Ziggy proved to be just another one of Bowie's wardrobe changes, no amount of artifice can disguise this fact: the Spiders from Mars could've been as important as Zeppelin and the Stones had they been given more of a chance to be real.
		And if there's anything to glean from this seemingly frivolous reissue of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (not the classic 1971 album, but the much-maligned soundtrack to D.A. Pennebaker's tour documentary), it's that late guitarist Mick Ronson is second only to Hendrix in the dead guitar-god hierarchy.
		Producer Tony Visconti does his best to revamp the cruddily recorded original, though as a document of a theatrical experience, you're still closer to the back row than centre stage.

	Film & TV: Stardust Memories (The Boston Phoenix . 11-09-98)
		As the camera enters the Earth's atmosphere and begins its familiar skydiving fall toward the opening scene of Todd Haynes's glam-rock drama Velvet Goldmine, there is every reason to believe that it's headed for Bromley circa January 8, 1947, the place and date of David Bowie's birth.
		And along with taking its name from an obscure Bowie tune, Velvet Goldmine is, on the surface at least, a film inspired by the rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, the glammiest of all Bowie's many mutations.
		Back in '94, grunge was king and any thought that a glam revival might be just beyond the horizon in America would have been fanciful at best.

		Woody Allen's ''Stardust Memories.'' It's a little hard to remember now, but in 1980 Allen was still looked up to with an adoration that made him the alienated geek's favorite culture hero.
		After a while, however, I took another look at ''Stardust Memories,'' and I began to discover that we were all wrong.
		In this movie, he foresaw his inability to live up to the romantic role we'd carved out for him, and he cast a ruthless eye upon the unreality of that role.
