Ep #51 - The Milos Forman School in the 60s

Cinema60 ·

2021/10/19

Like the rest of Europe, Czechoslovakia was busy making its own cinematic waves in the 1960s. Arguably, the Czechoslovak New Wave was one of the broadest and most formidable, stretching from extremely abstract art films to slice-of-life kitchen sink dramas. These filmmakers went in search of truth – indulging in a mix of dark humor, social satire and pure absurdism – and they would have gotten away with it too if it weren’t for that dang ol’ Soviet Union eventually putting the smack down on them.

Ep #50 - The Soviet Fairy Tales of Aleksandr Rou in...

Cinema60 ·

2021/09/28

Once upon a time, in a magical red world behind an iron curtain, there existed a very special man named Aleksandr Rou. Born to two foreign-born parents, Rou worked his way up from the stage to become one of Russia’s most celebrated film directors. But Rou wasn’t any ol’ director; he focused primarily on fantasy and fairy tale films for children – building up worlds of magical witches, talking animals, underwater kingdoms, gilded palaces, silken costumes, wicked warlocks and proletariat heroes

If you were a teenager in the 1960s chances are you loved three things: The Beatles, Yo-Yos and The Man From UNCLE. Okay, likely you enjoyed a variety of other things, but the adventures of Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin sure captured the hearts and minds of the many during their four year television run. But this is cinema60 so we’re exploring the eight Man From UNCLE movies that were released (not to be confused with the surprisingly charming Guy Ritchie movie) largely for foreign audiences and

2021/06/29

Bart and Jenna dust off a 1962 article by critic Stanley Kauffmann on Truffaut’s Jules and Jim to use as a sounding board for how and why ‘60s filmgoers showed up for and reacted so favorably to challenging “art” films. They also discuss love in its various states, from the idealized to the understated love of a perfect friendship.

Ep# 46 - Nancy Kwan in the 60s

Cinema60 ·

2021/06/08

In 1960, Nancy Kwan burst onto the screen in glorious color as the titular Suzie Wong. The film was a major hit that both launched her career and gained her lasting name recognition in the industry. After a memorable stint in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s celebrated Flower Drum Song, she went on to a bizarre mix of smaller films and bit roles but never seemed to find her place. How could this happen to such an attractive and charming leading lady? Oh. Right. In this episode, Bart and Jenna take a look

Ep# 45 - Haskell Wexler in the 60s

Cinema60 ·

2021/05/18

There’s an argument to be made for the idea that Haskell Wexler was one of the founding fathers of modern cinema. With his emphasis on handheld cameras, naturalistic on-location shooting and dramatic lighting, Wexler stands out as one of the few true auteur cinematographers. Between his iconic visuals and his clear interest in and emphasis on political themes and social justice, his body of work acts as both a mirror for the decade and loudspeaker to progressive values. Wexler remains a major

Ep #43 - Japanese New Wave Cinema in 1969

Cinema60 ·

2021/03/23

As part of our mission statement, Cinema60 boldly claims that modern cinema was born in the 1960s. However you want to look at that assertion, there’s no denying that cinema before the ‘60s was (well, at least since the mid-1930s) safe family-friendly entertainment with bits of adult content creeping in around the edges little by little–to a greater or lesser degree depending on where in the world you lived. But by the end of the ‘60s, adults in a majority of cinema-producing countries could legally

Ep #41 - Jazz Anxiety Films in the 60s

Cinema60 ·

2021/02/16

Charles Mingus once said: “Anyone can make the simple complicated. Creativity is making the complicated simple.” Jenna wasn’t thinking about this quote when she coined the term “Jazz Anxiety Movie” but it certainly fits. What she was thinking about was how many brilliant 1960s films about anxiety-inducing situations seem to have memorable jazz scores. But it was more than that–beyond just utilizing jazz to get across a mood, all of these movies seemed to actively reflect their scores in their

Ep #37 - Luis Buñuel in the 60s

Cinema60 ·

2020/11/30

After years of fighting against political turmoil, personal strife and artistic complacency, Luis Buñuel finally found a decade that embraced him for everything he was and could be. The famous Surrealist who was ejected from the European filmmaking community in the early ‘30s for blasphemy and a sensibility too outrageous for mass consumption, made his circuitous way back to the Continent in the ‘60s after self-imposed exile making low budget Mexican melodramas. Primed by youthful rebellion and the

Ep #35 - Eyeliner Westerns in the 60s

Cinema60 ·

2020/10/20

Out here in the desert you only have two friends, your rifle and your flat angled eyeliner brush. One of Jenna’s favorite activities is spotting inappropriate fashion, hair, and makeup in meant-to-be period films. Some decades are certainly worse than others and the midcentury falls firmly in the ‘too self aware’ camp–I mean, how can you expect people to flock to the theaters if we can’t even see the general outline of some cleavage, am I right guys? While not as prudish as the 1800s, in the 1960s

Sick and tired of Jenna torturing him with hours of terrible James Bond rip-offs, Bart takes the reins and chooses a mix of international bootleg Bonds that all have one very important thing in common: they make Bart laugh. How that is, or why that is, is the real question here; they border on enigmatic enough that even Bart isn’t too sure how to describe his sense of humor. Whatever it is, Modesty Blaise is certainly a big part of it. In this episode, Bart and Jenna take a dive into Bart’s Choice

Ep #32 - New German Cinema in the 60s

Cinema60 ·

2020/08/11

Don’t feel too bad if you don’t really know what was happening culturally in 1960s West Germany. The truth is not much was happening, at least for the first half of the decade. But once the mid-’60s hit, an interesting chorus of voices and visions started to emerge from Germany’s youth. Where there had been a heap of churned out fluff, suddenly filmmakers like Werner Herzog, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Alexander Kluge and other similar minded folks began to pop up. While New German Cinema truly came
