Brian De Palma has taken up permanent residence as a grinning caretaker of the Hitchcock reliquary. Paul Mazursky has stared into his navel and found François Truffaut. And Woody Allen, whose films find their strength in reflections on his life and the lives of the beautiful battered people around him, has retreated into an anguished remake of 8½. In Stardust Memories, he has erected a movie-studio cage around his experience and produced...
