Cul-de-sac (1966)

  • Criterion Collection, Polanski, Roman
  • 1966, Roman Polanski, UK
  • 2 Comments

Polanski’s Golden Berlin Bear winner traverses the territory of absurdist cinema in what is a sporadically engaging but sharp commentary on power plays associated with psychological sadism and the gender and classist pressures to conform.  

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Chimes at Midnight (1966)

  • Criterion Collection, Welles, Orson
  • 1966, Orson Welles, Spain

Arguably Orson Welles’ finest hour as a director and actor, this resurrected masterpiece remains to be one of cinema’s most extraordinary adaptations of Shakespeare.

Andrei Rublev (1966)

  • Criterion Collection, Tarkovsky, Andrei
  • 1966, Andrei Tarkovsky, Soviet Union
  • 2 Comments

Tarkovsky’s vignette-style medieval epic is possibly the greatest ideological film about a psychologically-conflicted artist trying to understand the epoch he lives in.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Creatures, The (1966)

  • Criterion Collection, Varda, Agnes
  • 1966, Agnes Varda, France
  • 1 Comment

Varda’s work here is under-appreciated—a layered and surreal collision of imaginary and abstract ideas about a writer’s creative process, and one might even say a tonal antecedent to the modern pictures of Yorgos Lanthimos.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Wings (1966)

  • Criterion Collection, Shepitko, Larisa
  • 1966, Larisa Shepitko, Soviet Union
  • 1 Comment

3.5 stars

Shepitko shows why she was such a promising filmmaker in this charming character study that brings social reality and flights of fancy together through artful naturalism.

Here Is Your Life (1966)

  • Criterion Collection, Troell, Jan
  • 1966, Jan Troell, Sweden
  • 3 Comments

3 stars

Jan Troell’s naturalistic if poetic debut feature may have been well-regarded in Swedish cinema, but it is difficult to be absorbed by a work that is too meandering and elliptical for its own good.
