Days of Heaven (1978)

  • Criterion Collection, Malick, Terrence
  • 1978, Terrence Malick, USA
  • 7 Comments

Malick’s second feature, an understated but contemplative effort, remains to be one the most beautifully shot films in the history of cinema.

Empire of Passion (1978)

  • Criterion Collection, Oshima, Nagisa
  • 1978, Japan, Nagisa Oshima
  • Leave a comment

Oshima confidently mixes eroticism with the supernatural in this beautifully-shot murder-cum-ghost tale that is rich in old-world atmosphere.

Perceval (1978)

  • Rohmer, Eric
  • 1978, Eric Rohmer, France
  • 1 Comment

Shot like a stage play on a minimalist set, Rohmerโ€™s experiment with narration and storytelling about a man who dreams of becoming one of King Arthurโ€™s knights is interesting but may be a tad too long.

Wasps Are Here, The (1978)

  • Others
  • 1978, Darmasena Pathiraja, Sri Lanka
  • 1 Comment

This rarely-seen Sri Lankan work about a rural community relying on fishing for survival is ripe for rediscovery as it both lyrically and hard-hittingly deals with issues of gender, changing ways of life and chronic antagonism.

Fedora (1978)

  • Wilder, Billy
  • 1978, Billy Wilder, France, West Germany
  • 1 Comment

A late career triumph by Billy Wilder that works effectively as a spiritual sequel to his legendary โ€˜Sunset Boulevardโ€™, as he looked back at the glamour of Hollywood with sad โ€˜Europeanโ€™ eyes.

A nostalgic documentary by Scorsese that celebrates the cultural phenomenon that is rock music in the form of a concert film.
