A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy (1982)

 

A wacky inventor and his wife invite two other couples for a weekend party at a romantic summer house in the 1900s countryside.

From memory: Light-hearted and inconsequential, Woody Allen plays around with Bergman's Sommarnattens leende, all very well made, good dialogue and a capable cast, it's enjoyable but without much substance.

Halliwell*: "Subdued, melancholy and rather uninventive Woody Allen variation on Smiles of a Summer Night." 

Maltin***: "SMILES OF A SUMMER'S NIGHT, Woody Allen-style; a quirky, entertaining diversion...Appealing cast...,exquisite Gordon Willis photography."

Stardust Memories (1980)

While attending a retrospective of his work, a filmmaker recalls his life and his loves: the inspirations for his films.

From memory: Highly accomplished study with great b/w cinematography and the director's good sense of humor; the result, however, is an exercise in self-adulation. 

Halliwell*: "A plainly autobiographical work which, while amusing and moving in spots, makes it doubtful that the writer/director/star can even now shake off his obsessions."

Maltin***: ""Pointed, seriocomic look at fame and success - though many viewers found it simply narcissistic.

Le sauvage (1975)

A woman flees her fiance in Venezuela and hooks up with a perfumer on the lam from his wife.

Lively French screwball comedy; the stars play fine, but the movie is too often loud and enervating. 

Halliwell (no star): "A promising and amusing start is squandered in the tedious island sequences of this patchy romantic comedy, which does however leave one with the sense of freshness and optimism rare in the cinema of the seventies."

Maltin**1/2: "Nothing special, but easy to take."
