In the fall of 1973, one could see signposts of cinema’s future in Mean Streets and The Exorcist, yet with this youthful pair of proto-indie dreamers, Malick was paving a whole new road. It turned out to be the path most traveled.

Plot
500 years from now, war has left the world in ruins. The Badlands, a region of former North American states, are ruled over by the Barons, seven men and women who control their own territories and raise armies of lethal fighters called Clippers. Regent Sunny, a highly-skilled fighter and the deadliest “Head Clipper” for Baron Quinn battles the Nomads and rescues a mysterious boy named M.K. who harbors a dark secret about his past. When he brings him back to The Fort to train as a “Colt”, a Clipper-in-training, things quickly get out of hand with another trainee. When first blood is drawn, M.K. loses control of himself as if something takes over his body, making the boy valuable to an opposing baron, The Widow. Meanwhile, Sunny discovers M.K.’s pendant has the same image as the one on his childhood compass of a place called Azra, the boy’s home. In order to seek out the truth about his own past, Sunny wants to know more of this city beyond the Badlands, and must find a way out, especially now that his lover Veil is illegally pregnant with his child.

Awards & Nominations: Nominated for 2 Oscars
11 wins & 8 nominations total
Young Frankenstein, a cinematic masterpiece that pays tribute to the classic horror genre, is a comedic tour de force that showcases Mel Brooks’ unparalleled ability to blend slapstick humor, witty dialogue, and double entendres into a cohesive and entertaining film. Gene Wilder’s performance as the titular character is nothing short of miraculous, as he delivers a lucid and total portrayal of a man driven to hysteria. While some may argue that the film carries on a touch too long, it’s hard to deny that Young Frankenstein is a wonderfully weird and horrifying experience that will leave you laughing long after the credits roll.
Young Frankenstein is a hilarious and loving tribute to classic horror movies. Mel Brooks’ comedic genius is on full display, with Gene Wilder delivering a performance that is both manic and endearing. The film’s jokes are hit-or-miss, but when they hit, they hit hard. It’s a shame that comedies like this aren’t made anymore, but at least we have Young Frankenstein to remind us of what we’re missing. Plus, who doesn’t love a good “puttin’ on the Ritz” dance number with a monster?

Synopsis (Warning: Spoilers!)
Marcel explains to Dean that there used to be an entire community of shells on the property, including Marcel’s mother, father, brother, and aunt. The shells would take shelter in a sock drawer when the house’s previous owners, Mark and Larissa, started knocking objects over while fighting. After one fight, Mark accidentally packs the shells into his suitcase while moving out, leaving Marcel and Connie as the only ones left on the property. Dean helps Marcel produce a livestream on the internet asking for help in locating his family. The livestream gains a substantial amount of viewers, but after Marcel shares his location with viewers, the house becomes a popular area for influencers. Marcel becomes dismayed after realizing most of the people who saw his videos are fans, desperate to be associated with him but largely disinterested in helping him.
The constant attention to the house quickly begins to bother Marcel, who is worried about Connie’s deteriorating health. Marcel convinces Dean to drive him around Los Angeles in search of Mark’s car, but is overwhelmed to discover how large and vast the world outside his house really is. Realizing that the world is too big to likely discover the car on his own, a discouraged Marcel returns home to find Connie has fallen off the top of a washing machine and cracked her shell. Marcel tends to her wounds and grows more protective of Connie. Dean has his ex-wife look after his dog, Arthur, after he tries to attack Connie.
60 Minutes reaches out to Marcel in the hopes of doing a cover story. Despite Dean’s encouragement, Marcel is reluctant to accept the offer, concerned with what the large production crew and more attention to the house would do to Connie’s health. Marcel tells Dean he will not accept the interview until Connie is fully recovered. Dean confides this information to a fast-deteriorating Connie. Wanting Marcel to live a meaningful life of his own, Connie pretends to show signs of improvement around Marcel while encouraging him to accept the interview. Despite strong reservations, Marcel eventually agrees to the interview, believing it may help him find his family.
Connie’s health continues to worsen as the day of the interview approaches. Connie and Marcel watch as the 60 Minutes crew sets up in the living room and are starstruck upon seeing Lesley Stahl in person. Marcel and Dean both participate in the interview. Upon its completion, Marcel and Dean struggle to find Connie before realizing she died while their segment was being filmed. Marcel buries Connie in her garden and grieves her. Dean signs a lease for a new apartment.
60 Minutes calls Dean requesting additional filming after making new discoveries regarding the whereabouts of Larissa. The segment airs, showing that they were able to locate Larissa in Guatemala. Larissa then brings the 60 Minutes crew to Mark’s house, where she and Mark get into an argument. Marcel urges Dean and the crew to check in Mark’s sock drawer, where the entire shell community is discovered. They reunite in the Airbnb with Marcel, who is able to give Connie a proper funeral. Dean moves into his new apartment and begins dating again. Reunited with his family, Marcel confides to Dean that he often finds himself going to the Laundry Room window alone, and feeling the wind blow through his shell. Marcel shows Dean the sound it produces, remarking on its beauty as he stares out the window.

Awards & Nominations: Won 1 Oscar
8 wins & 11 nominations total
Luis Bunuel’s The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie is a surrealist masterpiece that fearlessly satirizes the hypocrisy of the upper class. With dream sequences that nest within each other like Chinese puzzle boxes, Bunuel toys with the Jungian notion of the collective unconscious. The film is a deliciously pungent concoction that will set your spirits soaring and your mind aglow, thanks to the wizard command of cinematic juxtapositions by the master filmmaker. It’s a fascinating and thought-provoking work of cinema that showcases Bunuel’s artful insolence and reminds us why he is one of life’s great originals.
The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie is like a wild ride on a rollercoaster, but instead of loops and drops, you get surreal dream sequences and biting social commentary. Bunuel’s film is a hilarious and thought-provoking look at the hypocrisy of the upper class, and it’s no wonder it’s considered a classic. If you’re looking for a movie that will make you laugh and make you think, this is the one for you. Just be prepared for some seriously weird stuff.

Film Frenzy
Luis Bunuel’s The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie is a deliciously pungent concoction by the 72-year-old filmmaker and his young co-scenarist, Jean-Claude Carriere, that will set your spirits soaring and your mind aglow.

If you’ve never been a Bunuel film, this is a fine one to start with; Luis Bunuel is one of life’s great originals and he’s in top form here.

Maclean’s Magazine
Triggered by minor annoyances, the dreams and memories of civil servants invade the lives of Buñuel’s upper-class characters whenever they sit down to eat.

I must assure you that, such is Buuel’s wizard command of cinematic juxtapositions, the proceedings are delightfully clear, as well as light and witty.

Persona (1966)
94%RT Audience Score: 94%
Awards & Nominations: NA
Arguably Bergman’s finest film, Persona explores the human condition with intense curiosity, immense technical skill, and beguiling warmth.
If you’re looking for a movie that will make you question everything you know about film, Persona is the one for you. It’s like a movie within a movie, but then the inner movie gets thrown away and you’re left wondering what the heck just happened. But don’t worry, it’s worth seeing – even twice, according to some critics. And let’s be real, who doesn’t love a good mind-bending, surreal experience? Just be prepared to feel confused, intrigued, fascinated, and maybe a little sad for the women in the story.

[Bergman] gives us a movie within a movie, but he seems hardly to have made the enclosing movie, and then he throws away the inner one.

Persona was a challenging film to watch, but I really responded to it. I was confused, intrigued, fascinated, and sad for both the women in the story.

There are so many threads… in this extraordinary, tantalising film that it ts impossible to give precise directions: more perhaps than any other film in the history of the cinema, it is a treasure trove in which each must seek his own jewels.

Tom Milne
Observer (UK)
This original and individual work acts upon us in its own way; what is finally impossible to escape are the faces of Bibi Andersson and Liv Ullmann, agonized objects of Bergman’s worship.

[T]hose affecting scenes linger still in the mind. Though products of manipulation, the emotions are real. Cinema speaks in spite of itself-and in spite of Bergman.
