100 1970S MOVIES TO BE SEEN 2024

In a genre defined by shocking violence and psychosexual kink, it remains perhaps the most over-the-top "giallo" in EuroCult history: former MGM starlet and doomed James Dean paramour Pier Angeli (two decades past her Golden Globe award for "Most Promising Newcomer" and just one year before her tragic death) star in this ultra-lurid epic packed with decapitations, pet vultures, creepy incest, groovy fashions, cyanide baths, swirly psychedelics, inexplicable plot twists, Nazi death camp flashbacks and more. Eleonora Rossi Drago, Fernando Sancho and Luciano Catenacci co-star in the 1970 sickie that would make Sigmund Freud himself scream in horror. Unfortunately, IN THE FOLDS OF THE FLESH is presently only available with an English-dubbed dialogue track. [Dubbing is generally avoided whenever possible (though not an option in this particular instance).]

之所以不选Nikolaidis那部“声名远扬”的《新加坡弹弓》，是因为这部显然比那部更病态。。。呵呵：）
In this experimental film, shot entirely within one room, a woman who waits in prison for her execution, dreams, masturbates, somehow kills her executioner, and survives.

A complex and fascinating experimental exploration of time and identity, Anti-Clock is a film of authentic, startling originality. Brilliantly mixing film and video techniques, Arden and Bond's paranoid, psychological surveillance study of a career gambler turned clairvoyant unstuck in time captures onscreen the anxieties that have infiltrated the consciousness of so many in Western society.

1975 film by King Hu

It is 1943, and the German army—ravaged and demoralised—is hastily retreating from the Russian front. In the midst of the madness, conflict brews between the aristocratic yet ultimately pusillanimous Captain Stransky and the courageous Corporal Steiner. Stransky is the only man who believes that the Third Reich is still vastly superior to the Russian army. However, within his pompous persona lies a quivering coward who longs for the Iron Cross so that he can return to Berlin a hero. Steiner, on the other hand is cynical, defiantly non-conformist and more concerned with the safety of his own men rather than the horde of military decorations offered to him by his superiors.

Excellent surrealistic drama
Thumbs up for this pure pearl of soviet Georgian cinema. Highly recommended and not only for Georgians but for any moviegoer - everybody finds something appealing in this wonderfully developed and very well done film.
As for surrealism, it is exactly what makes to feel this film with its every bit: this surrealism is speaking on the language of every country and every nation.
And if you still doubt a word of mine, just watch this movie and you will know what I was talking about...
The director Eldar Shengelaya is very well known in Georgian movie art. The other highly recommended movies of his are "Tsisperi mtebi anu daujerebeli ambavi" and "Arachveulebrivi gamopena". By the way, all his movies show that he catches both the glimpses of daily life and the meaning beneath them with the pure professionalism and it is just pity he has not directed any movie since 1996.
All in all, watch and enjoy!!!

1970 film by Costa-Gavras
