Claire’s Knee (1970)

  • Criterion Collection, Rohmer, Eric
  • 1970, Eric Rohmer, France
  • Leave a comment

Arguably Rohmer’s most iconic ‘moral tale’—the plot of an older man’s fetish for a teenage girl’s bare knee makes for great philosophical musings about the nature of lust and love.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

El Topo (1970)

  • Jodorowsky, Alejandro

Jodorowsky’s breakthrough film is one of the progenitors of the ‘midnight movie’ phenomenon, and has since become one of the most important cult films in history.

Swedish Love Story, A (1970)

  • Andersson, Roy
  • 1970, Roy Andersson, Sweden
  • Leave a comment

There’s enough humour and ‘70s romantic schmaltz in Andersson’s first feature to make it a pleasing slice-of-life experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Why Does Herr R. Run Amok? (1970)

  • Fassbinder, Rainer Werner
  • 1970, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, West Germany
  • Leave a comment

This early Fassbinder is one of his most piercing works, exploring the consequence of domestic and professional stress through a series of highly-engaging conversational long takes. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Confession, The (1970)

  • Costa-Gavras, Criterion Collection
  • 1970, Costa-Gavras, France
  • 1 Comment

Costa-Gavras paints a desolate and powerful political picture of an innocent high-ranking communist party official being interrogated and tortured in service of the frightening if absurd Soviet bloc show trials of the 1950s.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Kes (1970)

  • Criterion Collection, Loach, Ken
  • 1970, Ken Loach, UK
  • 1 Comment

Arguably Ken Loach’s masterpiece of 1970s British working-class social realism, with an absolutely stunning performance by the 14-year old non-professional actor David Bradley.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.
