Body and Soul (1981 theatrical film) Although it opened on Friday, November 20, 1981 in New York, and was reviewed in the Times in that Sunday'<b>sb> edition, it is not listed on this list of 1981 releases. Films under five are generally awful even if you like that kind of film, equivalent to about one and a half stars from the critics or less, depending on just how far below five the rating is. The basic idea was to update an eponymous 1947 boxing movie with John Garfield, a little-seen film which seems to be regarded positively (8.2 at IMDb). www.scoopy.com /bodyandsoul.htm   (1450 words)

VENICE FILM FESTIVAL - 1981 - BY HARLAN KENNEDY It'<b>sb> a single-minded film made with antennae fully stretched to catch the political anxieties of modern Germany: the phantom of a phoenix-Fascism arising from the Aryan ashes, the desperate weaponry of anar­chist Terror used to combat it, the bewil­derment of those caught in the crossfire. Francisca is an over­whelming conspiracy of colors and tex­tures, filmed in Valasquez velvets and marooning its characters in a thrilling half-world between autonomy and arti­fice, life and portraiture. Poking fun at the film busi­ness, Moretti plays a moviemaker work­ing on a film about Freud. americancinemapapers.homestead.com /files/VENICE_1981.htm   (1934 words)

MusicSearcher.com: John Barry Body Heat (1998 Re-recording of 1981 Film) The producers of the Varese Sarabande Film Classics series should be thanked for giving us a fine recording of John Barry'<b>sb> score for the film "Body Heat," one of the sexiest ever written. I've always loved the film of "Body Heat" so I was delighted to buy the soundtrack when it came back on the market in this re-recorded version. This is certainly a case where the film itelf and the score are equal partners in conveying that emotion. www.musicsearcher.com /Items/030206595123/Reviews   (645 words)

HistoryLink Essay: Bellevue Film Festival, 1967-1981 The Bellevue Film Festival continued to grow and mature for the next 14 years, ending in 1981 with the demolition of the Bel Vue Theater to make way for expansion of the Bellevue Square Mall. Independent film-makers who shoot their films in somewhat the same spirit as the early pioneers of the industry, are able to adopt the spontaneous, personal approach which is becoming increasingly rare in an industry saddled with monstrous costs. It begins to seem likely that the film history of the present is being written, not on the sound stages of Hollywood, but in the garages and lofts of the shoestring artists who borrow equipment, use outdated film, and turn their friends into performers . www.historylink.org /essays/output.cfm?file_id=3469   (2136 words)

1981: The Last Laugh The filming of Goodbye Pork Pie was completed in 1980, and after screening at Cannes, the film was released in New Zealand on 6 February, 1981. The completed film does contain elements of Butch Cassidy – a chase story, two heroes, and a showdown with the authorities – but stronger than any Hollywood overtones is the sense that this is first and foremost a New Zealand film. When the Film Commission agreed, in March 1979, to assist with the funding of Goodbye Pork Pie, the film was described as New Zealand’<b>sb> Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. www.filmarchive.org.nz /archive_presents/1981/lastlaugh.html   (1209 words)

Possession / 1981 / film review / Andrzej Zulawski / Isabelle Adjani The film has certainly lost some of the impact which won it instant notoriety on its initial release in 1981 but it remains a palpably bizarre and unsettling cinematic experience, alternating between the patently ridiculous and the down-right disturbing. The one area where the film genuinely does impress is in the quality of the special effects — although the multi-tentacled monster appears only briefly on screen, it is certainly on a par with anything produced by the best science-fiction films. It is certainly not a film which will appeal to the majority of cinema-goers and it should probably not be watched as a serious piece of drama. frenchfilms.topcities.com /nf_Possession_rev.html   (513 words)

Film Review: Gallipoli (1981) Even though I am the complete couch patatoe when watching films, getting my enjoyment from the least amount of mental effort possible, I like movies that have more in them, as I find that they are generally better thought out and of a higher quality, and so I like these aspects explored in a review. This is indeed a devastating film, and one which caused me to follow a young Peter Weir'<b>sb> directorial career from that point. Gallipoli is one of my favorite Aussie films (though I often get it confused with The Lighthorse Brigade, as I think I saw them at about the same time when I was young). www.suite101.com /discussion.cfm/585/2358   (509 words)

Diva / 1981 / film review / Jean-Jacques,Beineix Whilst Diva is undoubtedly a great film, it is marred slightly by its convulted plot, which involves more story strands than the film is capable of sustaining. The film works because, despite this, it is so brilliantly assembled. The contrast between the grace and beauty of the opera music and Cosma’<b>sb> disturbing modern accompaniment brilliantly underscores the contrast of the two worlds between which the postboy Jules is caught - that of a beautiful opera singer and the murderous thugs. frenchfilms.topcities.com /nf_Diva_rev.html   (354 words)

Ragtime (1981 Film Soundtrack) - Randy Newman, Robert B.

Escape From New York (1981 Film) Large View - Interactive Reviews Long-time Carpenter collaborator Alan Howarth went back and put together the actual cues from the film; he also put the music in sequence and included snippets of dialogue (always fun on a soundtrack disc). Comment: This expanded soundtrack is a real treat for fans of the 1981 cult film from writer/director/composer John Carpenter. The piercing snyths capture the menace of the Manhattan island prison, and the action scenes are given power by sequencers and drum machines that have actually dated pretty well, considering. www.interactivereviews.com /large/B00004SC09   (645 words)
