this is a great compendium of interviews and excerpts form the films of the late sixties and early 70s that were a counter movement to the big studio films of the late sixties. directed by ted demme and it is obviously a labor of love of the films of the period and but it gives short shrift to the masterpieces of the times. many of the filmmakers of this period were influenced by truffaut and antonioni and fellini and bergman and and of course john cassavetes. unfortunately the documentary logging in at 138 minutes is too short. the film is rich with interviews and opinions of filmmakers. some of the people interviewed are represent martin scorsese and francis coppola and robert altman and peter bogdonovich and ellen burstyn and and roger corman and bruce dern and sydney pollack and dennis hopper and and jon voight. bruce dern has a moment of truth when he says that he and jack nicholson may not have been as good looking as the other stars that came before them but they were interesting. this summarizes the other areas of this period of film making in american history. the filmmakers were dealing with a lack of funding from the studios because they were expressing unconventional attitudes about politics and sex and drugs and gender and race issues and and americas involvement in overseas conflicts like the vietnam war. there is a great interview with francis coppola saying that he got the chance to make the conversation because the producers knew he had been trained by roger corman to make a movie with nothing so they bankrolled his film. another interview is with jon voight who was directed by hal ashby in coming home a clear anti war film about a crippled soldier immersing himself back into society after his facing battle. voight talks about how his working methods helped him achieve an emotional telling point when ashby said that they were doing a rehearsal take and it ended up being the take used in the film it was better because it was so un rehearsed and not drained of its freshness by being over rehearsed. there are also many fine excerpts from al pacino break through film the panic in needle park and and interviews from dennis hopper on the making of easy rider and and interviews from sydney pollack about making films. all in all the documentary is a fine jumping off point for any film lover who wants to see great examples of what the new voices in film were like in the seventies. many of the sundance folks and where this film made a big splash and are unaware of just how much the independent film maker today owes to the films of john cassavetes and milos foreman and william friedkin and and roger corman. rent it from your favorite shop. it will at least perk you up to some films you may not have seen before and can enjoy today. amazon. com has it for as little as $11. 50 and if you want to buy right out.
