Most of my 1st viewings were mediocre - quite a few horror/horrible movies with my son. These were the few I could recommend -
Miss Sloane

I hope you are having a good week and it looks like you had an incredible month around the world of cinema (which brings back to mind the smell of the "Permissive" air!) From the one review on The Seven Faces of Bannai Tarao I've found,it makes the lead character wonderfully similar to RKO's version of The Falcon/Saint. I hope that you found Isabel to be an interesting film,I found the rawness in the surrealist ending to be very unsettling. Watching the movie for the second time today,I think you would love the 1968 Iran Musical King of the Hearts/Soltan ghalbha. Told by a former IMDber about it,the only thing I could find was a print with no Subtitles,and an IMDb listing,which has no review,and does not list the names of any of the characters. Lucky for me,a fellow ex-IMDber noticed the exchange,and revealed he had tracked down a print on YT,with specially made Eng Subs: I hope you get the chance to see this nearly lost film this month. |

Hi there MDF thanks so much for the for the King Of Hearts (1968) recommendation/link , I will certainly find the time to check it out this month also was most interested learning of the Iranian actor/director Mohamad Ali Fardin ...... Unfortunately my copy of Isabel (1968) was not the best ,which affected greatly the atmosphere of uncertainty and dread. but I loved the outstanding lead performance from Geneviève Bujold and am always fascinated by remote cultural and geographical settings this is also a favourite era of filmmaking. Isabel is certainly a film worthy of a reputable restored re-release. Singing Lovebirds Oshidori utagassen (1939) from your viewings stars Chiezō Kataoka I have found only two films with eng subs on dvd from the film detective series. Bannai was played by Chiezō Kataoka. He portrayed the Private Detective character in eleven movies from 1946 until 1960. pictured below from the excellent The Seven Faces of Bannai Tarao (1956)  1968 was a great year for film a few outstanding favs . The Birthday Party, UK , William Friedkin Reconstituirea , Romania, Lucian Pintilie Rozmarné léto , Czech Jiri Menzel We'll Live Till Monday , Russia Stanislav Rostotskiy The Golden Calf , Russia Mikhail Shvejtser Sedmoy sputnik (1968) Russia Grigori Aronov, Aleksey German Affair in the Snow Japan Yoshishige Yoshida Le 17e parallèle: La guerre du people France , Joris Ivens Happy Viewing... |

Good stuff, looking forward to the last six episodes later this year. Don't miss THE BIG SICK (2017). What a terrific film, one of the very best I have seen this year. I laughed, I cried, I laughed some more. It is one hell of a romantic comedy. A must-see. |
