Happy Mother's Day (1963)
Beautiful look at Reserved citizens shoved into the spotlight.
I understand that their are a couple versions of this film. I saw a shorter version that was completely under Leacock's control. It was amazing in its portrayal of the changing town. Especially differing opinions between the town mayor, mother, and father. Very personal, while the characters remain detached in their demeanor.
I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of direct cinema.
Démanty noci (1964)
Blew me away.
This is an incredible film. Before viewing it I was told it wasn't available in the states, and what a shame. It's stark visuals and haunting imagery kept me on the edge of my seat. I wouldn't care if I got a version w/o subtitles because their are maybe 10 spoken lines, and time is played with as the viewer follows flash backs forwards and dream sequences. This is the best war movie I have ever seen. The beginning scene running up the hill is bone chilling.
If at all possible watch this movie.
