Franklinton Underground Cinema: Filmography

Easy Rider

So many subtle details surface with each screening. The film is as much about traditional male initiation as it is direct cultural context.

Seven Psychopaths

Definitely several layers to uncover, yet maybe too captive to itself as a message film. Was not expecting the weight of the final (Buddhist) turn, and not sure (without a second watch) that it is, what is actually wants to be...

Gone Baby Gone

Another great Dennis Lehane adaptation. Qualifying the question of right & wrong is given it's due weight here - not letting responsibility off the hook.

Vampyr

An excellent transition from Silent to "Talkie" - Dreyer creates a true aesthetic nightmare through image that includes minimal sound.

Rear Window

Isn't this the real "facebook" movie?

Rear Window

Not only does this "documentary" give birth to film theory...it does so without words.

Harakiri

The most poignant "rage against the machine" film ever created?

The Kid

The most "human" film ever made?

The Kid

An extraordinary existential piece that, at times, forces us to look at our humanity through the poverty of the human face.

Shadows

Dangerous and spontaneous, "Shadows" presents issues of racism and sexism through the purity of improvisation. Six Stars.

The Human Condition

"I'm boarding this run-down truck, but you're trying to catch the train of humanism before it's too late. I won't stop you. You seem willing to pay the fare, no matter how high."

Three Colors: Blue

"Blue" seems to have an extraordinary influence on Malick's "Tree of Life".

The Face of Another

Interesting that this was released the same year as Bergman's "Persona" - the only other film that I could think of that reaches so deeply into the psychology of existentialism.

    yes indeed yesterday i watched this movie again with my cousin. we need to set up the cable modem first . we watched this classic film again with a new modem :) cool http://www.sb6121m.com

"Well?"

The Panic in Needle Park

Many elements here from the best of Coppola and Scorsese in the Seventies, infused with Cassavetes claustrophobic "Faces" style of (non) framing. Outstanding performances.

The Killing of a Chinese Bookie

The film could have benefited from some kind of suspense. I don't know whether he (Newton) chose not to go home, or if circumstances (friends, enemies?) prevented him from succeeding in his mission. Without such dilemmas, the film fails to realize and sustain the "modern isolated man" symbolism. I believe Roeg should have first watched a film about a modern isolated taxi driver in New York that same year.

High and Low

So...five years preceding Night of the Living Dead, Kurosawa created the Zombie genre in the heroin alley scene?

The Bad Sleep Well

Seething portrait of corporate Japan through the lens of a kind of Shakespearean Noir where men must witness their own funerals. Six Stars!

The Fugitive Kind

Subtle and restrained film...that feels like a slow southern drawl.

Jack Goes Boating

Offbeat and disturbingly well-written dialogue.
