Le Pont du Nord (1981)

  • 1981, France, Jacques Rivette

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3 out of 5.

  • 2 Comments

This less celebrated entry in Fassbinder’s BRD trilogy is a biting take on capitalism and the commodification of the body as postwar Germany rebuilds.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Thief (1981)

  • Criterion Collection, Mann, Michael
  • 1981, Michael Mann, USA
  • Leave a comment

4 stars
