Identification Marks: None (1964)

  • Skolimowski, Jerzy
  • 1964, Jerzy Skolimowski, Poland
  • Leave a comment

Skolimowski’s raw debut feature is like a Polish ‘Breathless’, though much less interesting and with little to really engage viewers. 

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 2.5 out of 5.

Blood and Black Lace (1964)

  • Others
  • 1964, Italy, Mario Bava
  • Leave a comment

Bava put Italian giallo movies on the world map with this ominous serial-killer mystery, packed with solid scares and features the breathtaking use of colours and shadows.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)

  • Criterion Collection, Kubrick, Stanley
  • 1964, Stanley Kubrick, UK, USA
  • 3 Comments

Kubrick’s pitch-black Cold War comedy is absolute gold, intelligently poking fun at the sheer absurdity of nuclear war and rhetoric. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Umbrellas of Cherbourg, The (1964)

  • Criterion Collection, Demy, Jacques
  • 1964, France, Jacques Demy
  • 4 Comments

The magic of cinema is exuded in this dialogue-as-lyrics French musical that is easily one of the most emotionally resonant pictures of its time and genre.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Love Meetings (1964)

  • Pasolini, Pier Paolo
  • 1964, Documentary, Pier Paolo Pasolini
  • Leave a comment

Pasolini asks the Italian public very bold and awkward questions about sex—and all of its political, social, economic and cultural implications—in this superb and highly-entertaining documentary survey.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Gospel According to St. Matthew, The (1964)

  • Pasolini, Pier Paolo
  • 1964, Pier Paolo Pasolini
  • 4 Comments

Powerful yet poetic, this is one of the great filmed stories of Jesus Christ.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Adventures of Zatoichi (1964)

  • Criterion Collection
  • 1964, Japan, Kimiyoshi Yasuda, Zatoichi
  • 1 Comment

The theme of the ‘father figure’ dictates the narrative of this decent 9th instalment of the ‘Zatoichi’ series.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

French Dressing (1964)

  • Others
  • 1964, Ken Russell, UK
  • Leave a comment

This underappreciated debut feature by Ken Russell is a refreshing and energetic French New Wave-influenced comedy bursting with ideas and saying a thing or two about breaking conservative moral codes.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Fight, Zatoichi, Fight (1964)

  • Criterion Collection
  • 1964, Japan, Kenji Misumi, Zatoichi
  • 4 Comments

This 8th instalment is one of the series’ best—and different too—with director Kenji Misumi fashioning a slower-paced tale about Zatoichi’s longing for fatherhood. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Zatoichi’s Flashing Sword (1964)

  • Criterion Collection
  • 1964, Japan, Kazuo Ikehiro, Zatoichi
  • 2 Comments

The franchise’s 7th movie is its first true disappointment with a middling story, low stakes and a weak villain.

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 2.5 out of 5.
