High and Low (1963)

  • Criterion Collection, Kurosawa, Akira
  • 1963, Akira Kurosawa, Japan
  • 2 Comments

Kurosawa’s underrated gem of a masterwork is both an emotionally tense domestic drama, and a hot and sweaty police procedural.

Dementia 13 (1963)

  • Coppola, Francis Ford
  • 1963, Francis Ford Coppola, USA
  • 1 Comment

An early horror B-movie by Coppola, produced by Roger Corman, with effective mood-setting but an undercooked story.

Le petit soldat (1963)

  • Criterion Collection, Godard, Jean-Luc
  • 1963, France, Jean-Luc Godard
  • 4 Comments

Banned for a short while in France, Godardโ€™s second feature boldly and stylistically depicts the moral complexities of the Algerian war, throwing audiences at the time an early political curveball.

Basilisks, The (1963)

  • Others
  • 1963, Lina Wertmuller
  • 2 Comments

Three young men waste their time away in a lazy provincial town at the South of Italy in this assured first feature by the trailblazing Lina Wertmuller, with a lovely score by Ennio Morricone.

Emotions run deep in Godardโ€™s masterwork as it charts the deterioration of a coupleโ€™s marriage whilst set against the chronic uncertainties of a movie production.

Birds, The (1963)

  • Hitchcock, Alfred
  • 1963, Alfred Hitchcock, USA
  • 4 Comments

An exercise in suspense filmmaking from the Master, though it lacks narrative drive that leads to little payoff.

  • Criterion Collection, Fellini, Federico
  • 1963, Federico Fellini, Italy
  • 6 Comments

Fellini’s mastery of form and style is there for all to revel in this autobiographical film about the psychological crisis of a film director.

It does feel overly-plotted, but this fifth โ€˜Zatoichiโ€™ installment builds up to an all-out street gang war.
