" Can a comedian evolve into a challenging artist? Not in the public's view, as Sandy Bates learns the hard way. The hostile comments persistently hurled at him indicate that audiences prefer his earlier slapstick comedies over his recent work: allegorical black-and-white head-scratchers in the vein of European art films. Invited to attend a retrospective of his work, the former funny man must come to terms with critics, audiences, lovers and, ultimately, himself. The film, featured earlier"

"Woody Allen's most personal film, his variation of Fellini's 8 1/2. A film director is invited to a retrospective of his work and while his fans love his earlier, funny films, he is now making deep, philosophical dramas while being inspired by the women in his life, particularly an actress who had problems. Filmed in black and white, this covers all of Allen's neurosis as well as an attack on critics and the whole filmmaking process."

"Few would argue that Woody Allen has been poorly treated by the Academy. The writer/director/star has four Oscars, and another 20 nominations, despite the fact that he never turns up. Which makes it baffling that the Academy would totally snub “Stardust Memories,” one of his best movies, while nominating him for disposable, middling fare like “Mighty Aphrodite” and “Match Point.” Was it deemed too self-indulgent?"
