Zatoichi and the Doomed Man (1965)

  • Criterion Collection
  • 1965, Japan, Kazuo Mori, Zatoichi
  • 2 Comments

This easy-going if poor entry doesnโ€™t quite contribute much to Zatoichiโ€™s characterisation, nor does it have an involving premise.

Rating: 2.5 out of 5.

Zatoichi’s Revenge (1965)

  • Criterion Collection
  • 1965, Akira Inoue, Japan, Zatoichi
  • Leave a comment

This tenth instalment goes into darker territory with forced prostitution as one of its themes, but Zatoichi is in a serious mood to right wrongs with several well-choreographed fight scenes in store.

317th Platoon, The (1965)

  • Others
  • 1965, France, Pierre Schoendoerffer
  • 4 Comments

This war film shot in Cambodia and lensed by the great Raoul Coutard strongly emphasises on realism, but may feel slightly underwhelming.

Repulsion (1965)

  • Criterion Collection, Polanski, Roman
  • 1965, Roman Polanski, UK
  • 7 Comments

A Polanski masterclass in psychosexual filmmaking, still effectively chilling and disturbing today as it wasโ€”surely a shocker!โ€”back in the mid-โ€˜60s.

Moment of Truth, The (1965)

  • Criterion Collection, Others
  • 1965, Francesco Rosi, Spain
  • 1 Comment

Rosiโ€™s shot-in-Spain film could be one of the finest works about bullfighting ever made despite a conventional rags-to-riches narrative.

Pierrot le fou (1965)

  • Criterion Collection, Godard, Jean-Luc
  • 1965, France, Jean-Luc Godard
  • 3 Comments

Itโ€™s an inventive, original piece, but also a pretentious mess that struggles to sustain in what could be one of Godardโ€™s most overrated films in his prolific first decade as a non-conforming artist.
