Peeping Tom (1960)

  • Criterion Collection, Powell, Michael
  • 1960, Michael Powell, UK
  • Leave a comment

The picture that destroyed Powell’s career, this disturbing work about a serial killer who perversely films his victims as they die is now regarded as a major influence on the modern slasher movie, and a provocative exploration of the ills of scopophilia. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Trou, Le (1960)

  • Others
  • 1960, France, Jacques Becker
  • Leave a comment

Becker’s swansong is one of the most underrated based-on-a-true-story prison escape movies in world cinema—its simple, efficient storytelling style hides a highly-detailed narrative that propels the story forwards through plot and action. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Virgin Spring, The (1960)

  • Bergman, Ingmar, Criterion Collection
  • 1960, Ingmar Bergman, Sweden
  • Leave a comment

One of Bergman’s quietest films, but therein lies a powerful and existential meditation on religion, vengeance and guilt.  

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A milestone of popular Indian cinema, this enduring classic is a lavish epic about the taboo romance between a prince and a court dancer, and how love might triumph over power.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Les bonnes femmes (1960)

  • Chabrol, Claude
  • 1960, Claude Chabrol, France
  • Leave a comment

Chabrol’s chill but sometimes suspenseful take on toxic masculinity comes in the form of four young women trying to figure out their lives in this long underseen French New Wave drama.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Breathless (1960)

  • Criterion Collection, Godard, Jean-Luc
  • 1960, France, Jean-Luc Godard
  • 12 Comments

Perhaps the most canonical of French New Wave movies other than Truffaut’s “The 400 Blows”.

⭐⭐⭐⭐
