Le Samouraï (1967) 92% “The interweaving of ritualised Japanese and American themes, the formalised colour and camerawork that create a world at once fantastic, allusive and coherent, mark out Le Samouraï as both a Melville film and the Melville film to date.” – Sight & Sound Mar 18, 2025 Full Review The Last Picture Show (1971) 98% “Bogdanovich, keeping his audience in a suspended state of compassionate amusement, illuminates boredom from within and without and makes it entertaining. ” – Sight & Sound Oct 26, 2023 Full Review The Heartbreak Kid (1972) 92% “There is the insuperable obstacle of Neil Simon’s screenplay, which (unlike Elaine May’s own script for A New Leaf) jerks the characters from one meaty absurdity to the next with only the most cursory nods to motivation.” – Sight & Sound Feb 22, 2022 Full Review Bananas (1971) 83% “Much of the humour is blunted by Allen's self-indulgence as both a director and actor.” – Financial Times May 15, 2020 Full Review Taking Off (1971) 100% “Forman plays on this conflict of styles, catching at all the pedantic nuances of American jargon and pop culture to create a universally recognisable image of man's unfounded optimism.” – Financial Times May 15, 2020 Full Review La Collectionneuse (1967) 75% “Curiously, although La Collectionneuse (Connoisseur) more than confirms [Eric Rohmer's] creative strength, it is, far more markedly than his earlier feature, a critic's film.” – Sight & Sound Apr 1, 2020 Full Review American Graffiti (1973) 95% “Without unnecessary nudging or underlining, Lucas beautifully establishes his characters as both enslaved to the image of themselves which the media have given them and permanently in need of its company.” – Sight & Sound Mar 27, 2020 Full Review A Doll's House (1973) “The truthfullness of [Jane Fonda's] interpretation may owe as much to life as to art, but there too Ibsen would have approved.” – Sight & Sound Mar 19, 2020 Full Review Two for the Road (1967) 83% “Would be a far better film if it could only decide which of three lanes it wanted to drive in - comedy, farce or philosophical comment.” – Sight & Sound Mar 19, 2020 Full Review “In the face of very real technical difficulties [Maurice Hatton] has succeeded in capturing the full, self-absorbed, conspiratorial flavour of radical politics among the Suez generation.” – Sight & Sound Mar 18, 2020 Full Review Old Boyfriends (1979) 53% “Diane bears all the outward signs of a contemporary heroine (autonomous working woman setting out alone on existential quest), she defines herself and is in turn defined exclusively through her relationships with men.” – Sight & Sound Mar 17, 2020 Full Review Man of Marble (1977) 75% “An ultimately optimistic film.” – Sight & Sound Mar 17, 2020 Full Review Gumshoe (1972) 88% “It's an extraordinarily funny film, funny in a way that is neither patronising of its audience's intelligence nor complacent about its own.” – Sight & Sound Feb 11, 2020 Full Review The Best Way to Walk (1976) “Miller surrounds his dramatic scenes of pride and prejudice with a rich humour that balances affection and misanthropy.” – Sight & Sound Feb 6, 2020 Full Review Midnight Cowboy (1969) 89% “Though Schiesinger's method constantly undermines the individuality of his displaced heroes, it is a reflection on the superb and largely unsentimental performances of both Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman that one cares almost too much about them.” – Sight & Sound Feb 6, 2020 Full Review Journeys From Berlin/1971 (1979) “The predominantly static camerawork is richly compensated by the series of arabesques and ellipses which Rainer weaves around her subject.” – Sight & Sound Jan 16, 2020 Full Review Grease (1978) 66% “Insidiously, it congratulates its audience on having achieved a stable perspective from which it can view with amused tolerance the turbulent times of its supposed teenage traumas.” – Monthly Film Bulletin Jul 6, 2018 Full Review Lucia (1968) 89% “To describe Luca as a masterpiece seems almost to belittle it since visually it is not one film but three.” – Monthly Film Bulletin Jun 19, 2018 Full Review Belle de Jour (1967) 95% “The beauty of Belle de Jour lies in the fact that Buuel has made interpretation irrelevant, blending memory, fantasy and reality into an indissoluble whole.” – Monthly Film Bulletin Jan 22, 2018 Full Review
