Stardust Memories: The Overlooked Masterpiece

  • 0
Yesterday i watched 'Stardust Memories' for the fourth time with microscopic eyes with some desire to find its nano faults and to understand why it has been profoundly underrated. Instead of i writing a boring post, i decided to present Woody Allen's 'Stardust Memories' with snapshots, videos and quotes. Help Yourself!

Fellinism :

The Garbage dump in the first scene.
Elephant-Childhood dream to get it as a birthday gift
Fond of magic since childhood.
Alternate Ending to movie by production company.




Bergmanism :

Beautiful shot with the mention of 'Hiroshima'.

The 64 seconds single close up shot.

The Robust closeup shots.
Politics :

Poster on the wall: His views against 'Vietnam War'.
When you told her that you had been a leftist.. and that you had been in jail, her mouth was hanging open. She's intensely middle-class, you know. I find that extremely difficult to swallow, even now. ~ Woody Allen
I can prove that if there's life anywhere else in the universe, they will have a Marxist economy ~ Some Idiot
Some Guy - Where do you stand politically?
Woody Allen: I'm for total, honest democracy, you know...and I also believe the American system can work.

Philosophy, Childhood etc...:

Superman in Childhood 
Concentrate on Background and Conversation.
with a desperate fan.
Childhood Memories.
Speech after a presumed death.
Sigmund Freud?

For me Stardust Memories is a masterpiece and a very hard film to be pulled off in such a remarkable fashion.
