Visit, or Memories and Confessions (1982)

  • Others
  • 1982, Documentary, Manoel de Oliveira, Portugal
  • Leave a comment

This quaint self-reflective piece by Oliveira doesn’t always work, but it is an introspective glimpse into the filmmaker’s mind, his life experiences and awareness of his mortality.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Good Marriage, A (1982)

  • Rohmer, Eric
  • 1982, Eric Rohmer, France
  • 3 Comments

Rohmer’s second ‘Comedies & Proverbs’ film is one of his more straightforward affairs as it dissects with nuance why some people are obsessed with marriage, while others are simply disinterested.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Veronika Voss (1982)

  • Criterion Collection, Fassbinder, Rainer Werner
  • 1982, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, West Germany
  • 2 Comments

The perils of drug addiction meet with the allure of a faded Third Reich star in Fassbinder’s evocative and fatalistic penultimate film.

One from the Heart (1982)

  • Coppola, Francis Ford
  • 1982, Francis Ford Coppola, USA
  • Leave a comment

A skimpy storyline and uninteresting lead characters mar this artistic antecedent to ‘Moulin Rouge’ and ‘La La Land’.

⭐⭐⭐

Fitzcarraldo (1982)

  • Herzog, Werner
  • 1982, Peru, Werner Herzog, West Germany

One of the greatest feats by any filmmaker in the history of cinema, Herzog’s film pits personal ambition against the forces of nature as a man desires to build an opera house in the middle of the Amazon jungle.

Godard’s Passion (1982)

  • Godard, Jean-Luc
  • 1982, France, Jean-Luc Godard
  • Leave a comment

Could be one of Godard’s most beautifully-shot films, but its experimental use of unsync dialogue combined with a fragmentary and obtuse narrative makes this challenging to appreciate.

⭐⭐⭐
