Canterbury Tales, The (1972)

  • Criterion Collection, Pasolini, Pier Paolo
  • 1972, Pier Paolo Pasolini
  • 5 Comments

Not as complete as The Decameron was, this lust-filled, sex-crazed medieval fantasy will probably knock you out with its comic outrageousness.

Frenzy (1972)

  • Hitchcock, Alfred
  • 1972, Alfred Hitchcock, UK
  • 3 Comments

A late career high of sorts as Hitchcock returns to the UK to shoot another ‘wrong man’ picture in the guise of a serial killer thriller.

Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972)

  • Herzog, Werner
  • 1972, Werner Herzog, West Germany
  • 5 Comments

Herzog brilliantly transports us to a bygone world and to the edge of madness as power and greed clash furiously with nature and survival in this great masterwork of 1970s German cinema.

State of Siege (1972)

  • Costa-Gavras, Criterion Collection
  • 1972, Costa-Gavras, France
  • Leave a comment

Costa-Gavras sets his sights on Latin America in this superbly-constructed political-thriller that raises questions about the United Statesโ€™ complicit involvement in counterinsurgency, torture and violence.

Dawns Here Are Quiet, The (1972)

  • Others
  • 1972, Soviet Union
  • Leave a comment

An unusual and at times powerful Soviet WWII movie about a male sergeant leading a group of inexperienced women soldiers into a skirmish with marauding Nazis.

Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart in Peril (1972)

  • Criterion Collection
  • 1972, Japan, Lone Wolf and Cub
  • 4 Comments

Another worthy entry into the series with requisite gory fight scenes and heightened sensuality, this time shot by the legendary Kazuo Miyagawa.

Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart to Hades (1972)

  • Criterion Collection
  • 1972, Japan, Kenji Misumi, Lone Wolf and Cub
  • 1 Comment

Despite being more talky than usual, this satisfying entry features a terrific climactic action set-piece.

Solaris (1972)

  • Criterion Collection, Tarkovsky, Andrei
  • 1972, Andrei Tarkovsky, Soviet Union
  • 9 Comments

Tarkovsky’s sci-fi mystery is indescribably profound and no doubt one of his very, very best.

Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart at the River Styx (1972)

  • Criterion Collection
  • 1972, Japan, Kenji Misumi, Lone Wolf and Cub
  • 2 Comments

The second movie brings the series down to a disappointing notch with a thinner storyline, and some questionable decisions in plotting.

Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance (1972)

  • Criterion Collection
  • 1972, Japan, Kenji Misumi, Lone Wolf and Cub
  • 1 Comment

The first of the popular if bloody Japanese chanbara series is sharp and swift like its titular assassin.
