	Guardian Unlimited Film Reviews Mirror (1975)
		He suggested that she thought about the times Zerkalo was showing, he tried to explain to her Tarkovsky's symbolism where the bird could be representing life and soul of the main character and the boy with the stutter could mean that it was most difficult for people to communicate and understand each other.
		Someone said to her that they were discussing a very complicated film, and they needed time to understand it.
		I remember him repeating over and over that there were no tricks, no puzzles, and no tongue-in-cheeks in the film; that every symbol, image, dialog, and sound was there because they belonged there.

		02-20-2002, 03:16 AM Mirror (1975) A Film By Andrei Tarkovsky
		I didn't know what to expect, I had know clue as to what film techniques he used what type of storytelling methods he captured on film and the type of strong characters he was able to creates.
		I just watched my new Andrei Rublev DVD, and I must say it has become my favorite Tarkovsky film (and one of my all-time favorites).

		Most of the film looks quite good for a 1975 print, with very little grain and good colours (thought contrasts could be a bit stronger).
		The fluctuations in sound quality mirror those of the picture.
		Loosely inspired by the Fatty Arbuckle case, The Wild Party tells the tale of Jolly Grimm (James Coco), fading silent movie funnyman.

	TRINI - TIMES SQUARE
		Jett was/is, along with Times Square soundtrack's Suzi Quattro, perhaps the quintessential leather-and-guitar female rocker of those days, having formed her first band (called, yep, Runaways) as a Rocky Horror Picture Show (both stage and film version starring Times Square's Tim Curry) freak in 1975.
		The development towards the "new order" in the Times Square area must be known to all, and has definitely changed the faces of the streets as compared to the scenes in the film.
		Another actor connecting the film with Trini's works is Don Scardino, the director of the 1988 NY revival of the stage musical Godspell, himself also a vet in the leading role in previous stagings.

		Medusa as an emblem for the concerns of Feminist Film critic Kaja Silverman (1989) and her analysis of Lacan's concept of the "mirror stage".
		Medusa is more than trying on an image of the self in drag, but a way of projecting one's fears about oneself onto a canvas and confronting the worst possible version of oneself, as if through a lens, or mirror.
		Cixous (1975) refers to Freud's sexualization of Medusa which she refutes as one of many "theories anchored in the dogma of castration" and the notion of woman as a Dark Continent, or a hysteric.

	Folkstreams » The Best of American Folklore Films
		A 1975 Bill Ferris film that features artists from a number of different craft traditions discussing and demonstrating their work, including quilting, sculpting, house building, and basketmaking.
		This 1986 film examines the traditional Native American craft of split ash basketmaking as a means of economic and cultural survival for Aroostook Micmac Indians of northern Maine.
		His hunting tales, stories from World War II, and religious narratives, and the life stories of Frail Joines and his wife Blanche mirror changes that swept away much of the traditional culture of his Appalachian rural community in a single generation and show the character and values with which his family met these circumstances.

	Borders - Store Inventory - Title Detail - The Wind and the Lion
		The Wind and the Lion, produced in the mid-1970's, when viewed through the prism of today is practically a mirror image of goings-on in the Middle East.
		The film, written and directed by John Milius, tells the true story (with some adjustments) of an American woman (Candice Bergen) and her children who are abducted in Morocco by a Berber chieftain played by Sean Connery.
		Description: Once a while a film re-surfaces or is come upon that proves to be incredibly effective and powerful not because of any specific aspect of its plot or characters, but because during the passage of time history has proven the film to be either prescient or an eerie parallel to current events.

	About James Leavey
		Penge was once described by Bill Cassandra, the Daily Mirror’s late, lamented columnist, as “ideal for a joke factory”.
		The Academy, whose three cinemas in Oxford Street were all non-smoking by the time it closed in 1986, established an enviable worldwide reputation for pioneering and establishing the work of new film directors, including Ingmar Bergman, Akira Kurosawa, Francois Truffaut, Andrzej Wajda, Satyajit Ray and Jean-Luc Godard.
		From 1974-1975, Leavey was trained as an English teacher, part-time at Sidney Webb College, where he was also vice-president of the Polytechnic of Central London - now University of Westminster - evening students’ union.

	Telegraph Arts Film-makers on film: Thomas Vinterberg
		One of the greatest works by the Russian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky, Stalker is not only the equal of the more famous Andrei Rublev (1969), Solaris (1972) and The Mirror (1975), but also shares these films' stark beauty, thematic complexity and blunt refusal to spoonfeed its audience.
		The tale of a family gathering that unleashes the darkest secrets, Festen was the first (and still the best) film to be made according to Dogme rules, and was an instant classic.
		Vinterberg did, however, realise this a few years later, when he was putting Festen together.

	Theatre Mirror Reviews - "Come Back to The Five And Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean"
		It is 1975 and the Disciples of James Dean meet for their 20th reunion at the Kressmont 5 and dime store owned by religious fanatic, Juanita (Maureen Noel) in the small town of McCarthy, Texas.The middle-aged women were teenagers in 1955 when James Dean filmed Giant nearby.
		Mona (Jackie Granja), an extra in the film has a child she claims was conceived by Dean on the set; her child is the Jimmy Dean of the title.
		The set resembles an old fashioned 5 and Dime with the Orange Crush on tap, the ceiling fan, and the linoleum floor and the shrine and decorations to James Dean add to the authenticity of the set.

	Pere Ubu (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pere Ubu's debut single was "30 Seconds Over Tokyo" (inspired by the "Doolittle Raid" and named after a film depicting the raid), backed with "Heart of Darkness"; followed by "Final Solution" in 1976.
		In their songs, Pere Ubu imagined 1950s and 1960s garage rock and surf music archetypes as seen in a distorting funhouse mirror, emphasising the music's angst, loneliness and lyrical paranoia.
		Pere Ubu have consistently conducted their affairs as they see fit, regardless of convention: They refuse to discuss or explain their sometimes odd music, forgoing the usual banter of newspaper and press interviews.

	MovieMaker Magazine Issue #33 Paul Schrader: A Timeless Pursuit of Grace
		The snowbound stilllifes of that film elegantly mirror the suffocating anguish of Wade Whitehouse, of a life clamped off early by an abusive father.
		The themes that have fascinated Schrader are present in The Yakuza, the first script he sold, (1975; co-written with his brother Leonard).
		But Schrader has never been able to match Bresson's rigor, in which the banal events of the everyday were invariably riven by a disparity, a disturbance in the commonplace, that led to a decisive action, which then resulted in a transcendence of the disparity, rather than a resolution or a victory.

	John Wojtowicz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The movie was released in 1975, and starred Al Pacino as Wojtowicz, and John Cazale, Pacino's co-star in The Godfather, as Naturile.
		Wojtowicz's story was used as the basis for the film Dog Day Afternoon.
		Wojtowicz’ contradictions, which mirror those of an urban gay scene incessantly leeched over by cops and capitalists, both legal and illegal, are chopped out, as is his overt sexuality.

	Pere Ubu (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pere Ubu's debut single was "30 Seconds Over Tokyo" (inspired by the "Doolittle Raid" and named after a film depicting the raid), backed with "Heart of Darkness"; followed by "Final Solution" in 1976.
		Rocket From The Tombs was a Cleveland-based group that eventually fragmented: some members formed The Dead Boys, while David Thomas and guitarist Peter Laughner joined with guitarist Tom Herman, bass guitarist Tim Wright, drummer Scott Krauss and synthesist Allen Ravenstine to form Pere Ubu in 1975.
		In their songs, Pere Ubu imagined 1950s and 1960s garage rock and surf music archetypes as seen in a distorting funhouse mirror, emphasising the music's angst, loneliness and lyrical paranoia.

	The nostalgia of the Stalker - Peter Green
		This merging of identities is to be found in a number of situations in Tarkovsky’s films and in particular in The Mirror (1975), where the characters of wife and mother (performed by the same actress) are blurred to the point of identity.
		Nostalghia opens upon a misty landscape, a slope down to a lake, a white horse in the distance, the Alsatian, Andrei’s family descending the hill to the quiet strains of Verdi’s Requiem, with which the film also closes.
		There are sufficient indications of all these things; and yet the nostalghia of the Stalker and Andrei is a search for paradise -not necessarily a paradise lost, but a utopia yet to be attained, in life, of after death.
