	1970s in film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Movies in the 1970s came in a wide variety, as the socially-conscious young directors that emerged in the late '60s grew in different directions, influenced by music, literature, and the nature of crime and war.
		List of 'years in film' in the 1970s
		Another trend was the birth of the big-budget horror film, initiated by William Friedkin 's The Exorcist which spawned numerous imitators.

	Takeshi Kitano - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A remake of Shintaro Katsu 's 1970s film series, Zatoichi was Kitano's biggest box office success in Japan, did quite well in limited release across the world, and won countless awards at home and abroad.
		His films are usually dramas about gangsters or police, characterized as being highly deadpan to the point of near-stasis.
		Kitano's third film, A Scene at the Sea ( Ano Natsu, Ichiban Shizukana Umi), was released in 1991.

	BBC - Devon Features - archive film of the Beatles in Plymouth is rediscovered
		Missing since the 1970s, the film features an interview with Paul McCartney at a time when the band's longevity was being questioned.
		Filmed in Plymouth during the band's visit in October 1964, amazingly it proves that people were questioning the bands prospects for future success.
		It was filmed when the Fab Four were at the height of their success and Beatlemania was gripping the nation.

	Post-war Australian Film - the 1970s
		Films which took advantage of the liberalisation were seen as progressive in their overcoming Victorian attitudes to sexuality and permitting a greater realism.
		The films were often marked by a concern with representative characters who are marked by their ordinariness and who are confined to their immediate social environment which they negotiate, are affected by, but themselves rarely affect.
		Films needed to be tougher-minded so that they could respond 'to the threat of the Australian landscape rather than lyricising it, or the potential excitement of its cities, instead of ignoring it' (McFarlane, 1980: 61).

	Film History of the 1970s
		Although the 1970s opened with Hollywood experiencing a financial depression, the decade became a creative high point in the US film industry.
		Films made outside the traditional Hollywood mold, with great works of character development, were winning critical praise and bringing in tremendous revenues.
		His second film (which brought Rafelson a Best Screenplay nomination) was one of the best of the 70s, Five Easy Pieces (1970), a fascinating, yet shattering story of an emotionally-alienated concert pianist (Jack Nicholson shortly after his work in Easy Rider) who returned to his upper-class family after years of exile as an oil-field worker.

	Film History of the 1970s
		This first film of the three-part epic became the first film to gross $100 million domestically, although its arrival was denounced by Italian-Americans protesting its violence and the association of the 'Mafia' with their ethnic group.
		The film chronicled the upriver journey of a disparate group of Vietnam soldiers led by Martin Sheen on a mission to kill jungle renegade colonel Marlon Brando.
		Between the two Godfather films, Coppola also filmed the critically-acclaimed The Conversation (1974), a box-office failure (but with the Palme d'Or win at the Cannes Film Festival) and a more personal film that studied the paranoia of post-Watergate wiretapping by an account of a surveillance expert (Gene Hackman).

	Deathdream: The Return of 1970s Horror
		The term ‘socially conscious’ horror film is appropriate for this low budget mini-masterpiece and is a fine response to those who point to the horror film as a terrain for reactionary and neo-conservative thought.
		The film’s central father figure Charles Brooks, played by the great John Marley, is a ‘man’s man’ who encouraged his only son to go to war out of fear that the boy’s mother, Christine, was in the process of making his son a ‘sissy’.
		The film’s style for the most part is direct and unencumbered, but in this scene takes on a greater expressiveness, with stark angles, shadowy lighting, and a shock edit to a wide-angle close-up of Andy’s satiated face as his head falls back against the wall.

	Table of Contents and Excerpt, Lev, American Films of the 70s
		The 1970s in film were not only the era of youth culture but also a period of antiwar satire, of right-wing vigilantism, of blaxploitation, of women's liberation, of blatant sexism, of family values, of new family units.
		The 1970s on film is marked by several distinct and sometimes contradictory currents, currents which can be analyzed both in overview and within individual films.
		But in the 1960s and 1970s, the film audience shrank and fragmented, and the verities of the old studio system fell apart.

	Darcy's Korean Film Page - 1970s
		Looking back now on the films of the 1970s, we see a large number of uninteresting genre and propoganda films that were made just to please the regime.
		The film's narrative is founded on the juxtaposition between a modern, emancipated woman in a modern city and a wife enslaved among the rocks of a remote island -- emphasized by the momentary glimpses of Seoul inserted between shots of our heroine's struggles on the island.
		Much of the film is a lighthearted echo of a typical 1970s university student's experiences, set to memorable songs of that era.

	Best French films of the 1970s
		This stylish mix of film noir and western became one of the definitive policiers of the 1970s, crafted by perhaps the only French film director to truly master the genre.
		No other film captured the mood of France in its social and economic decline of the late 1970s than this superb black comedy, in which Patrick Dewaere gives probably his best performance.
		Based on Jean Poiret's hit stage play, this was one of the funniest French films of the 1970s.

	Rome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chronic congestion caused by cars during the 1970s and 80s led to the banning of unauthorized traffic from the central part of city during workdays from 6.00 a.m to 6 p.m.
		During the Second World War Rome suffered some heavy bombings (notably at San Lorenzo) and battles ( Porta San Paolo, La Storta) and was considered an "open town" (as in the film by Roberto Rossellini).
		However, Rome was spared the wholesale destruction of cities such as Berlin or Warsaw.

	Screen Musicals 1970s
		The John Kander and Fred Ebb title tune was a major hit for star Liza Minnelli, but the film suffered from heavy studio editing and was a box-office disappointment.
		Supporting performances by Broadway veterans Bea Arthur, Jane Connell and Robert Preston were delicious, but the film did not capture the magic of the stage version and did little business.
		With millions of dollars spent to make bad ideas even worse, the early 1970s became the golden age of bad big-budget movie musicals.

	Film Threat - Reviews
		Set for no apparent reason in the 1970s, the film contrasts the lazy and idyllic summer days of thirteen year-old Janey (Alicia Fulford-Wierzbicki) and her precocious kid brother Jim (Aaron Murphy) with the bored, listless and drink-filled ennui of their parents' existence.
		If a film was to take a look back on someone's childhood adventures, most of which took place in and around a beach front house, odds are that the film would be bubbling over in a bath of feel-good afterglow.
		"Rain," to put it mildly, is not your typical warm and fuzzy nostalgia film.

	Exhaustion and Cynicism in the 1970s
		In the 1970s, Americans were faced with unresolved conflict and problems that challenged the very heart of the post-war liberal consensus; they faced economic stagnation and recession, increasing poverty, decline in their standards of living, fears that the American Dream was becoming harder and harder to achieve, and bitter divisions over America's fundamental cultural values.
		For many Americans, the 1970s became a decade of transition--marked by confusion, frustration, and an overwhelming feeling that America had lost its direction, as if the very future of the "American experiment" and the "American Dream" might be in question.
		The real tragedy of the 1970s was that because Americans had increasingly lost their faith in their government, they did not trust or believe that their government could solve these problems.
