In the next scene, all the characters from the train wander aimlessly through an immense garbage dump. Convinced he is on the wrong train, he tries unsuccessfully to get off the train before it speeds away. The character looks out the carriage window and sees another train filled with beautiful and happy people. His latest film ends with a surreal sequence in which a character (played by Bates) is trapped on a train carriage surrounded by grotesque and unhappy figures. Sandy Bates is a director of comedy films. Allen, who denies that the work is autobiographical and has expressed regret that audiences interpreted it as such, even considers it to be one of his finest, alongside The Purple Rose of Cairo and Match Point. The film has nonetheless been re-evaluated to some extent, with modern reception more often positive than negative. Stardust Memories was nominated for a Writers Guild of America Award for Best Comedy written directly for screen, but was not warmly received by critics on its original release, and is not among the most renowned works in Allen's filmography. The film is shot in black and white and is reminiscent of Federico Fellini's 8½ (1963), which it parodies. The film is about a filmmaker who recalls his life and his loves - the inspirations for his films - while attending a retrospective of his work. Sharon Stone has a brief role, in her film debut. Stardust Memories is a 1980 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Woody Allen and starring himself, Charlotte Rampling, Jessica Harper and Marie-Christine Barrault.
