The film came out in 1968. Sharon Tate was murdered in August of 1969. Sorry if I’m being nitpicky. I figured someone else would notice it as well.
Polanski’s film version of “Macbeth” was the movie filmed about a year after the murders in 1970 and was definitely influenced by the grief of that tragedy.
It’s really a wild film that really showed that he was irreparably broken- dude insisted on using his own hands to pull the fetus out of Lady MacDuff
A quick search informs me Raging Bull will be on Prime in July, but you do you.
You lost me at “Start slideshow”.
I am one of the few that loves Cutthroat Island, so I’m beyond thrilled about this!However, I do agree with your point that perhaps (in retrospect) Matthew Modine was not the best lead. He was like Westley-lite.
The Sunrise/Sunset/Midnight trilogy is about the most sincere depiction of the life of a relationship you’re ever going to see on film. After seeing the romance of the first two movies, Hawke and Delpy’s fight in the last installment made me want to jump into the room and beg them to stop. And them deciding to not throw in the towel on the relationship as their wealthy older friend had done was beyond a relief. Top Gun: Maverick may be the blockbuster version of revisiting the past in a genuine way but Midnight felt lived-in like nothing else I expect to see.
The Diary Of A Teenage Girl (Available July 1)“teenage sexuality in the 1960s (in hippy central San Francisco no less),”Its set in 1976.
I just checked and Cutthroat Island isn’t available on there. This isn’t the first time this happened with these lists. Is this for Amazon Prime outside the U.S.?
“Dead Ringers” is amazing- especially Irons, but the whole vibe of it.
