The Apple (1999)
88%RT Audience Score: 84%
Awards & Nominations: NA
The Apple is a cinematic masterpiece that showcases the incredible talent of 17-year-old Iranian filmmaker Samira Makhmalbaf. This docudrama and parable hybrid tells the story of twin girls who were kept in isolation for over a decade, and their emergence into the world is both haunting and beautiful. Makhmalbaf’s understanding of Iranian society and family dynamics is remarkable, and her use of documentary observation and unforced re-enactments exposes the deepest rifts in society. The film is both politically and poetically resonant, and the bizarre drama and comedy provide a thought-provoking and entertaining experience. The Apple is a must-see for anyone who appreciates intelligent and engaging cinema.
The Apple is a film that will leave you feeling like you’ve just taken a bite of something sweet and sour at the same time. It’s a mix of documentary and drama that tells the story of two young girls who were kept in isolation for years. The film is both politically and poetically resonant, and it’s hard not to be charmed by the bizarre drama and comedy that unfolds. It’s even more impressive when you consider that the director, Samira Makhmalbaf, was only 17 when she made this film. So go ahead, take a bite of The Apple, and savor the flavors of Iranian cinema.

Makhmalbaf was only 17 when she started work on this project (with the help of her father, Mohsen Makhmalbaf, himself a renowned filmmaker). Her understanding of all members of the family is one of the movie’s most remarkable qualities.

Plot
Three orphaned siblings are forced upon confirmed bachelor Donovan (Bill Bixby) in a nineteenth century boom town of Quake City, California. After an earthquake shakes the area, the children find a large gold nugget worth tens of thousands of dollars. But their newfound wealth is causing more problems than it’s solving, so they agree to “give” the gold to two bumbling outlaws (Tim Conway and Don Knott’s). But they only way they can get the gold is to steal it from the bank vault where it’s being held for safe keeping.

This post-Watergate thriller captures the paranoid tenor of the times, thanks to Syndey Pollack’s taut direction and excellent performances from Robert Redford and Faye Dunaway

Duel makes brilliant use of its simple premise, serving up rock-solid genre thrills while heralding the arrival of a generational talent behind the lens
Duel is a classic thriller that will have you gripping the edge of your seat. Spielberg’s first big break is a nail-biting game of cat and mouse that will leave you breathless. The killer truck is just as terrifying as Jaws, and it’s impressive to see how Spielberg’s technical virtuosity shines through in this shoestring marvel.

McCabe & Mrs. Miller (1971)
88%RT Audience Score: 86%
Awards & Nominations: Nominated for 1 Oscar
1 win & 4 nominations total
McCabe & Mrs. Miller offers revisionist Western fans a landmark early addition to the genre while marking an early apogee for director Robert Altman
McCabe & Mrs. Miller is like a cowboy movie, but with a twist. It’s got all the classic themes – love, death, and capitalism – but with a non-heroic twist. Warren Beatty plays McCabe, a doomed gambler who’s both boastful and shy, making him altogether lovable. And Julie Christie runs the bordello, adding a touch of class to the wild west. The film’s got a refined visual style, but don’t let that fool you – it’s still got plenty of grit. Plus, the anachronistic use of Leonard Cohen tracks is just plain cool. So saddle up and get ready for a poetic vision of the American frontier.

Robert Altman’s wintry 1971 anti-Western gives Warren Beatty one of his best roles as the doomed gambler McCabe: boastful, shy, foolish, altogether lovable.

One of the best of Altman’s early movies, using classic themes — the ill-fated love of gambler and whore, the gunman who dies by the gun, the contest between little man and big business — to produce a non-heroic Western.

A period story about a small northwest mountain village where stars Warren Beatty and Julie Christie run the bordello, the production suffers from overlength; also a serious effort at moody photography which backfires into pretentiousness.

Altman’s capacity for fashioning an oddball romance without defeating the tough political implications of the story make this one of the greatest of all westerns and a key work in American cinema.

As a revisionist western it offers an austere view of life on the American wild frontier, with a refined visual style, but I’m afraid even that can’t reverse the effects of a narrative as empty as a Colt without bullets. [Full review in Spanish]

Firmly defining the landscape is Altman’s famed anachronistic use of three Leonard Cohen tracks which solidifies McCabe and Mrs. Miller as a poetic vision of a culture struggling to pull itself out of nature’s chaos — a cold-hearted and cruel hell.

McCabe & Mrs. Miller (1971) was iconoclastic and offbeat director Robert Altman’s acclaimed revisionist western (or “anti-western” according to some) about the American frontier. It was the first of his two myth-busting westerns…

Plot
Set in winter in the Old West. Charismatic but dumb John McCabe arrives in a young Pacific Northwest town to set up a whorehouse/tavern. The shrewd Mrs. Miller, a professional madam, arrives soon after construction begins. She offers to use her experience to help McCabe run his business, while sharing in the profits. The whorehouse thrives and McCabe and Mrs. Miller draw closer, despite their conflicting intelligences and philosophies. Soon, however, the mining deposits in the town attract the attention of a major corporation, which wants to buy out McCabe along with the rest. He refuses, and his decision has major repercussions for him, Mrs. Miller, and the town.
