Decameron, The (1971)

  • 8 Comments

Pasolini’s first film in his unofficial ‘Trilogy of Life’ is wildly provocative and blasphemous where religion and sex meet at the crossroads of art.

Trafic (1971)

  • Criterion Collection, Tati, Jacques
  • 1971, France, Jacques Tati
  • Leave a comment

This late career work by French comic master Jacques Tati has uncharacteristic pacing problems, though if you like automobiles, it is a charming snapshot of cars and trucks of the early 1970s.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Clockwork Orange, A (1971)

  • Kubrick, Stanley
