Phantom of Liberty, The (1974)

  • Bunuel, Luis, Criterion Collection
  • 1974, France, Luis Bunuel
  • Leave a comment

Bunuel’s absurdly fun penultimate feature seems to have been beamed directly from his unconscious—a provocative, taboo-smashing take on the idiocy of institutions and the irrational lunacy of human beings. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Arabian Nights (1974)

  • Criterion Collection, Pasolini, Pier Paolo
  • 1974, Pier Paolo Pasolini
  • 6 Comments

Tales of lust and love are intertwined with Pasolini’s astonishing location shooting in this weird concoction of a film that runs a bit too long.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Godfather Part II, The (1974)

  • Coppola, Francis Ford
  • 1974, Francis Ford Coppola, USA
  • 6 Comments

Coppola’s follow-up is even more ambitious in terms of narrative structure as he seamlessly explores themes of power, family and betrayal across time in one of cinema’s most astonishing sequels. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Parade (1974)

  • Criterion Collection, Tati, Jacques
  • 1974, France, Jacques Tati, Sweden
  • 2 Comments

Tati’s swansong is a delightful circus act (and quite literally, and dazzlingly so) as he implicates artists, entertainers and audience members alike in the performative.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Traveler, The (1974)

  • Criterion Collection, Kiarostami, Abbas

A neorealist-inspired first feature by Kiarostami, charting his path to become one of cinema’s foremost chroniclers of the human condition.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Lone Wolf and Cub: White Heaven in Hell (1974)

  • Criterion Collection
  • 1974, Japan, Lone Wolf and Cub
  • 3 Comments

It may have a wafer-thin storyline, but there’s no shortage of action in this mildly entertaining final instalment.

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Effi Briest (1974)

  • Fassbinder, Rainer Werner
  • 1974, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, West Germany
  • Leave a comment

Polished, precise and beautifully-shot in black-and-white, but its cold and austere treatment can be a long, alienating slog.

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 2.5 out of 5.
