Why is he never given a moment of self congratulation? As for John Hurt's performance, it is shrouded by the sheer physicity of the role. Inexplicably, he is a totally sweet, naw man right from the moment he is rescued from a life of degradation. Where are the anger, the mistrust and hostility? The film also leaves many questions unnecessarily unanswered. How did Derrick learn to read? What happened to Merrick's mother? Why is his spine deformed? The answers (not given in the movie); he was taught to read in the workhouse where his mother sent him, age 3, because she couldn't stand the sight of him. His back was crippled in a workhouse accident. Are these answers so difficult in a film purportedly telling us the truth about *The Elephant Man*? Ultimately, The Elephant Man is a cheat it demands emotional intensity from the man and it doesn't work. Stardust Memories starring Werry Allen, Charlotte Rampling Marie Christine Barmuti, Jessica Harper and Tony Roberts. Written and directed by Ailen This movie is going to start a lot of arguments. On the one hand, it is Allen's most accomplished feat of direction yet. But on the other hand ... Sandy Bates is an idolized comic-turned-director who is cursed by his own gifts. Steamrollerled by his staff — incompetent to the last man, woman and child — into attending a weekend retrospective of his work (a vicious parody of Judith Crist's Connecticut film weekends), he finds himself incessantly put upon by pushes ("I just want you"), especially the earlier funnier ones), groupies, unemployed actors, and other assorted morons who interrupt even his phone calls with requests for photos, autographs, jobs, charity appearances, sex, or a hearing for some suspicious bad idea for a new movie. In addition, he's trying to get his current lady (Barrault) to leave her husband for him, flirting with a Philharmonic violinist (Harper), and obsessing over the music depressive Dorrie (Rampling). Oh yes, the studio wants to change the ending of his latest film. If you think this all sounds like *B*/1/2, forget it. All W Allen is after nothing less than the demolition of the concept of the artist as benefactor to mankind. Bates can no longer contemplate making his popular careers because of his despair with the world and about the wretchedness of this planet, but his efforts to do serious works are unsuccessful and barely iterated. At that, the quality of his work scarcely matters because his audience applauds even his commonplace remark He trapped no matter what he does. He would not have been able to help he can do for mankind he gets this sage ad vice: "Make funnier movies." Well, this movie is funnier than anything Allen has done since *Sleeper*. It is also his 'favest' with the wild invincible he picks up. Alien by this time is capable of achieving almost any effect he wants, and he has turned churches into hotels and greenhouses into train stations to get exactly the look he wants. But the whole business is expended upon what may be Allen's ultimate exercise in self-flagellation: why is it necessary to portray the entire viewing public as a branch of delish booze? And why should he about what he's going to do for a humanity so patently unworthy of his talents? No doubt about it. *Stardirt Memories* is a must-see. But that doesn't mean you have to like it. As far as I'm concerned, it's a dazzling display by a master filmmaker that wears out its welcome long before the final credits. Somewhere in Time Sol Louis Siegel starring Christopherowe and Jane Neymore, written by Richard Mathson based on his novel "Lady in White." With the thinnest of plots — a man's journey back through time to find a woman he once loved, in another life, in 1912 and the most threadbare characterizations. Somewhere In Time is nevertheless formally romantic, but it remains highly childish and diversion. These virtues are almost solely attributable to the two gorgeous stars, when their faces are in closeup (especially for one slow erotic kiss) it doesn't matter so much that the movie makes little sense. Reeve and Seymour's face make a lot of sense. Reeve the once and future genius, who also possesses intelligent face and a sense of horror; Seymour is merely exquisite.
