Chess Game of the Wind, The (1976)

  • Others
  • 1976, Iran, Mohammad Reza Aslani
  • Leave a comment

This banned and long-lost Iranian debut feature, boosted by a stunning restoration, is a genuine eye-opener—subversive, progressive, and a formidable take on how power and greed are symptomatic of patriarchy and nobility.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 5 out of 5.

This is Scorsese at his finest, and is in my opinion probably the greatest American film to come out of the 1970s.

Religion and politics collide in frightening ways in this based-on-a-true-story ‘docu-drama’ that ranks as one of Mexican cinema’s greatest films.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Chinese Roulette (1976)

  • Fassbinder, Rainer Werner
  • 1976, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, West Germany
  • Leave a comment

Despite expert staging of mise-en-scene and astute camerawork, Fassbinder’s psychological chamber piece on infidelity and deep-seated hate probably only works as an intellectual exercise.

⭐⭐⭐

Satan’s Brew (1976)

  • Fassbinder, Rainer Werner
  • 1976, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, West Germany
  • 1 Comment

Fassbinder’s comedic farce of a film is shocking, revolting, and occasionally enjoyable.

⭐⭐⭐
