Binding Sentiments (1969)

  • Meszaros, Marta
  • 1969, Hungary, Marta Meszaros
  • 2 Comments

A recently-widowed mother who yearns to be independent and her overprotective son cross paths in what is a slightly nondescript second feature from Meszaros about the perceived strengths and weaknesses of familial bonds.

Color of Pomegranates, The (1969)

  • Criterion Collection, Parajanov, Sergei
  • 1969, Armenia, Sergei Parajanov, Soviet Union
  • 3 Comments

As fascinating as it is arcane, this visually and aurally arresting work from Armenia defeats categorization, but is indescribably hypnotic.

Invasion (1969)

  • Others
  • 1969, Argentina, Hugo Santiago
  • Leave a comment

This rarely-seen Argentinian feature debut by Hugo Santiago is an unclassifiable eye-openerโ€”a political โ€˜sci-fiโ€™ piece with cool Melville crime-thriller vibes.

Fellini Satyricon (1969)

  • Criterion Collection, Fellini, Federico
  • 1969, Federico Fellini
  • 3 Comments

One might disengage with its paganistic and hedonistic excess, but Felliniโ€™s visionary work loosely based on Petroniusโ€™ Roman satire is a one-of-a-kind aural-visual extravaganza.

Funeral Parade of Roses (1969)

  • Others
  • 1969, Japan
  • Leave a comment

This is free-form, counter-cultural Japanese cinema at its astonishing bestโ€”playful, powerful and brutal all in the same breath.

Katzelmacher (1969)

  • Criterion Collection, Fassbinder, Rainer Werner
  • 1969, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, West Germany
  • Leave a comment

Fassbinderโ€™s second feature continues his minimalist and spare direction, this time centering on a group of xenophobic, good-for-nothing friends.

Love Is Colder Than Death (1969)

  • Criterion Collection, Fassbinder, Rainer Werner
  • 1969, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, West Germany
  • 1 Comment

Fassbinderโ€™s debut feature is a stylish but spare gangster story that works in its own unusual way.
