STARDUST MEMORIES (1980): Sandy Bates, a successful filmmaker, attends a festival conducted to honor his work. During the course of the weekend he reconsiders his cinematic accomplishments as well as his past relationships. Woody Allen's homage to Fellini's self-referential masterpiece, "8 1/2." Sandy Bates is a world-famous director of film comedies who wants desperately to make "serious" movies. At the invitation of a prominent critic, Bates travels to the Stardust Hotel in upstate New York in order to attend a retreat put together to honor his achievements as a filmmaker. What he encounters there is a circus-like atmosphere comprising cloyingly devoted fans, as grotesque as they are obsequious, all professing their unconditional love for Sandy while at the same time wondering aloud why "he don't make 'em like he used to." As the weekend ends, Bates finds himself bathed in the greasy light of self-recognition and haltingly discovers that he may be more repulsive than any of the adoring fans he so loathes. This edition features the original 1987 video KEY video release. KEY video was a budget subsidiary label that later became absorbed into CBS/Fox. However, the film quality of KEY videos have proven superior over the years. Certain titles no longer in print originally released on KEY are highly desireable and collectible in the years since.
