Stardust Memories (1980)--2/5

Heading off criticism, Woody Allen has a critic call his films "self-indulgent" in the first five minutes of "Stardust Memories." Sorry--the critic is talking about Sandy Bates's films. Not Allen's. Got it? Bates does have supporters. Die-hard fans--extras rejected from "8 1/2" for looking too freakish--attend a Bates film festival and idiotically praise him. The knee-jerk reaction is to agree with the critic and dismiss the film as another failed, yet beautifully photographed, Woody Allen ego-trip.

Sounds like a good idea.
