That Most Important Thing: Love (1975)

  • Zulawski, Andrzej
  • 1975, Andrzej Zulawski, France
  • Leave a comment

Featuring arguably a career-best performance by Romy Schneider, Zulawski’s work here is enigmatic and indescribably haunting as it dissects the meaning of love and desire through the psychological destabilisation of its characters.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom (1975)

  • Criterion Collection, Pasolini, Pier Paolo
  • 1975, Pier Paolo Pasolini
  • 7 Comments

Perverse, disturbing and chilling, but also essential, Pasolini’s controversial final film evokes both disgust and fascination in equal measure.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Fox and His Friends (1975)

  • Criterion Collection, Fassbinder, Rainer Werner
  • 1975, Germany, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, West Germany
  • 1 Comment

A depressing, slow-burning gay drama that only Fassbinder (also fantastic in the lead role) could have conceived—full of pathos and rich in its depiction of the milieu of a class-divided queer community.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Manila in the Claws of Light (1975)

  • Criterion Collection
  • 1975, Lino Brocka, Philippines
  • Leave a comment

In the pantheon of Southeast Asian cinema, this stands as one of the finest films – bold, bleak and uncompromising.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Nishant (1975)

  • Benegal, Shyam
  • 1975, India, Shyam Benegal
  • 4 Comments

A film that will anger the hell out of you as Shyam Benegal tackles gender and class oppression in a depressingly kyriarchal Indian town with brazen confidence. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Chupke Chupke (1975)

  • Mukherjee, Hrishikesh
  • 1975, Hrishikesh Mukherjee, India
  • 1 Comment

Mukherjee’s classic comedy revolving around an elaborate practical joke planned and executed by a newly-wedded man on his hapless in-laws is one of his most entertaining delights.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Barry Lyndon (1975)

  • Criterion Collection, Kubrick, Stanley
  • 1975, Stanley Kubrick, UK, USA
  • 7 Comments

Kubrick’s understated and underrated costume-drama is, to me, his greatest accomplishment, and possibly the most beautiful period film ever made.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Mirror, The (1975)

  • Tarkovsky, Andrei
  • 1975, Andrei Tarkovsky, Soviet Union
  • Leave a comment

Tarkovsky’s purest cinematic poem pulls you into its complex if nebulous form, in a work that continues to astonish time and time again.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Dog Day Afternoon (1975)

  • Lumet, Sidney
  • 1975, Sidney Lumet, USA

4.5 stars

Al Pacino gives one of his finest performances in this highly-entertaining drama about a bank robbery gone wrong, directed by the incredibly dexterous Sidney Lumet.
