The Great Battle (1973) EDIT “Yuri Ozerov, the director... may not deal very much in little human truths, but he knows a tank from a handsaw.” – Guardian Jun 5, 2021 Full Review Big Jake (1971) 75% EDIT “A mildly entertaining story of kidnap and ransom foiled by Big John that sags hopelessly when it comes to the big shoot-out.” – Guardian Jun 8, 2020 Full Review Diary of a Mad Housewife (1970) 82% EDIT “Balefully brilliant.” – Guardian Jun 8, 2020 Full Review Escape From the Planet of the Apes (1971) 75% EDIT “It is efficiently directed by Don Taylor and sanely scripted by Paul Dehn.” – Guardian Jun 8, 2020 Full Review Bed and Board (1970) 75% EDIT “Afte rL'Enfant Sauvage it comes as a disappointment.” – Guardian Jun 8, 2020 Full Review I Love You, I Love You (1968) 90% EDIT “With Je t'Aime Je t'Aime Resnais combines lucidity and chop logic ; he deploys a brilliance of surface that can be as baffling as depth, and in the process has lost none of his poetry.” – Guardian Jun 8, 2020 Full Review EDIT “Godard has gone beyond the point where he can expect any popular or much critical interest, but he is still the major artist working in the medium, he still has ideas which will be given a gloss by other directors.” – Guardian Jun 8, 2020 Full Review Bananas (1971) 83% EDIT “Woody Allen is funny by reason of being Woody Allen, but that is becoming a decreasingly cashable asset.” – Guardian May 15, 2020 Full Review Taking Off (1971) 100% EDIT “Forman's, in short, is a talent in a thousand.” – Guardian May 15, 2020 Full Review Friends (1971) 17% EDIT “The music by Elton John and Bernie Taupin for Lewis Gilbert's Friends, on the other hand, is rather better than the picture deserves.” – Guardian Mar 17, 2020 Full Review Scandalous John (1971) 20% EDIT “Without having seen every western ever made... I can confidently put forward the Walt Disney production Scandalous John as the most boring.” – Guardian Mar 17, 2020 Full Review Daughters of Darkness (1971) 84% EDIT “The film is shot in a confusion of surrealistic perspectives.” – Guardian Mar 17, 2020 Full Review Quest for Love (1971) 40% EDIT “It is based on a story by John Wyndham, but after that spurt from the starting blocks it falls flat on its face.” – Guardian Mar 17, 2020 Full Review Love of Life (1969) EDIT “It is a moving and endearing portrait of an emotional, wise, lovable, and immensely talented musician.” – Guardian Mar 16, 2020 Full Review Revenge (1971) 0% EDIT “A thoroughly nasty bit of work.” – Guardian Mar 16, 2020 Full Review The Lady in the Car With Glasses and a Gun (1970) 20% EDIT “Not even Petula Clark gets a decent line in her title song.” – Guardian Mar 16, 2020 Full Review Beyond the Law (1968) EDIT “Reassuringly old-fashioned.” – Guardian Jan 23, 2020 Full Review Andrei Rublev (1966) 96% EDIT “Tarkovsky makes his film one of the most convincing portrayals in art of an artist; he succeeds by concentrating on the man's humanity.” – Guardian Aug 26, 2013 Full Review
