I just finished the final chapter of the 60s last night, and had a blast adding a little treat at the end (while it started as a blast, by the end of the process it was kind of mind-numbing but it was fun to watch afterwards).<br /><br />The next 7 episodes, for sure, cover my idea of cinematic nirvana.Joel Bockohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238338958380683893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7610074516299275060.post-23158669204561609772011-10-13T11:55:54.379-04:002011-10-13T11:55:54.379-04:0060's were indeed a great time for cinema, whic...60's were indeed a great time for cinema, which continued through the 70's too. Not just France, but many more countries imbibed this new wave into their cinema.<br /><br />I've watched 5 of the films you've covered here - Truffaut's The 400 Blows, Godard's Breathless, Fellini's La Dolce Vita, Antonioni's L'Avventura, and Bergman's Through A Glass Darkly.<br /><br />Great stuff!!!Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.com
