Posted May 9, 2005
3.5/5 100% Monterey Pop (1968) " It is possible that the way to a new kind of musical -- using some of the talent and energy of what is still the most lively contemporary medium -- may begin with just this kind of musical performance documentary." — New York Times
Posted May 9, 2005

4/5 88% Hour of the Wolf (Vargtimmen) (1968) " Hour of the Wolf is not one of Bergman's great films but it is unthinkable for anyone seriously interested in movies not to see it." — New York Times
Posted May 9, 2005

Posted Jan 15, 2005
4.5/5 80% La Mariée était en Noir (The Bride Wore Black) (1968) " Truffaut is such a poetic filmmaker that the film turns around and becomes, not at all Hitchcockian, but a gentle comedy and one of the few plausible and strange love stories in a long time." — New York Times
Posted May 20, 2003
5/5 95% Weekend (Week End) (1967) " The film must be seen, for its power, ambition, humor, and scenes of really astonishing beauty." — New York Times
