1970 - Half a Century Ago Challenge

[nimimerkillinen]

40. Le plus vieux métier du monde (The Oldest Profession, Franco Indovina, Mauro Bolognini, Philippe de Broca, Michael Pfleghar, Claude Autant-Lara and Jean-Luc Godard) 7/10 (10/10 to Godard's segment)

With Godard's futuristic and highly erotic episode, "Anticipation, ou l'amour en l'an 2000", from this portmanteau film, I finish the Half a Century Ago Chalenge; it was lots of fun going through such an extraordinary year, thanks for hosting, nimimerkillinen.

Hmm. Well, I have seen a few films from 1967 already this year, I have just finished another one and have two more lined up before the year ends...

1. El Dorado (1967, Howard Hawks)
2. Warrendale (1967, Allan King)
3. Viy (1967, Konstantin Ershov; Georgiy Kropachyov)
4. The Anderson Platoon (1967, Pierre Schoendoerffer)

Viy was a disappointment. All the others come recommended.

I have currently seen 84 films (no shorts) from 1967 (according to IMDb). That's more than 1966, but far less than 1968.

cheers, too bad its just for top tens but oh well
not that many partook this challenge but i was kinda fond of the idea to even go past those top-20 (maybe a top-30) as in year-by-year poll since it's an anniversary year but maybe thats just me and my fault for not arranging it with year-by-year folks sooner since third poll wasn't wanted

1969 in review!

1. Palaver (Emile Degelin) 9/10
2. Sotto il segno dello scorpione (Under the Sign of Scorpio, Paolo Taviani & Vittorio Taviani) 8/10
3. Dvoryanskoe gnezdo (A Nest of Gentry, Andrey Konchalovskiy) 8.5/10

[nimimerkillinen]

1. Vtáckovia, siroty a blázni - Birds, Orphans and Fools - Excellent or at least great. Very surreal. Like Daisies meets The Knack... and How to Get It meet Themroc meets even more chaos, birds - great cinematography seen on bluray! Best film seen in years maybe 8.5/10
