Sandpiper Pictures will bring to Blu-ray Woody Allen's
Stardust Memories (1980),
Interiors (1978), and
Zelig (1983). The three releases are scheduled to arrive on the market on September 27.
Stardust Memories
Description: A sharp, satirical look at the high price of fame, Woody Allen's Stardust Memories is a "wickedly funny" (The New York Times) story about a disillusioned filmmaker who is just about at the end of his rope. Sparkling with the confidence of an artist in full bloom, Stardust Memories is "a film to be seen and savored" (Jeffrey Lyons)!
Legendary comic filmmaker Sandy Bates (Allen) is tired of being funny. Teetering on the brink of a nervous breakdown, Bates attends a weekend retrospective of his films, only to confront the meaning of his work, the memories of his great love, Dorrie (Charlotte Rampling), and the merits of settling down with new girlfriend Isobel (Marie-Christine Barrault). Plagued by hallucinations, alien visitations and the bloodless studio executives trying to re-cut his bleak new film, Bates struggles to find a reason to go on living. But when he falls prey to a gun-wielding fanatic, his zany brush with death reveals that there is value to his own existence, and that often, the best reason to go on living...is life itself.
Interiors
Description: An "intensely provocative...[and] searing dissection of human behavior" (New York Daily News), Interiors marked a cinematic watershed for Woody Allen. In his first serious drama, Allen's interest in the human condition was not purely farcical and not limited to quick-wit and slapstick gags. Exploring the dynamics of a family in crisis, Interiors is "destined to become a landmark of American filmmaking" (The Hollywood Reporter).
When Eve (Geraldine Page), an interior designer, is deserted by Arthur (E.G. Marshall), her husband of many years, the emotionally glacial relationships of their three grown daughters are laid bare. Twisted by jealousy, insecurity and resentment, Renata (Diane Keaton), a successful writer, Flyn (Kristin Griffith), a woman crippled by indecision, and Joey (Mary Beth Hurt), a budding actress, struggle to communicate for the sake of their shattered mother. But when their father unexpectedly falls for another woman (Maureen Stapleton), his decision to remarry sets in motion a terrible twist of fate... with tragically unexpected consequences.
Zelig
Description: Mr. Personality? Or Mr. Personality disorder? Find out in Woody Allen's madcap mockumentary about an identity crisis of hilarious proportions! Thematically intricate, technically complex and filled with some of the most astonishing special effects ever,
Zelig is "pure magic" (Newsweek)! Nominated for two Oscars, this "work of breathtaking virtuosity" (Playboy) is further proof that Allen "is the premier American filmmaker of his day" (The New York Times)!
Leonard Zelig (Allen) is a social quick-change artist whose neurotic insecurity forces him to mimic -- mentally and physically -- whomever he's with. Treated by Dr. Eudora Fletcher (Farrow), Zelig is slowly cured, and in the process goes from side-shoe freak to national celebrity -- to Eudora's fiancee! But when misdeeds from Zelig's multiple-personality past start to surface (larceny, bigamy and an unauthorized appendectomy), the human chameleon is on the run again, and Eudora must search the world over to find -- and save -- the only man who's every man she's ever wanted!
