The Ghost of the Time
Michael Goldfarb remembers the political and social mise-en-sc猫ne films that depicted what it was like to be a young American during Vietnam and Woodstock in the 1960s and 1970s.
Michael Goldfarb remembers the political and social mise-en-sc猫ne films from the 1960s and 1970s, including work by Sam Peckinpah, Sidney Lumet and Derek Jarman. "惭颈蝉别-别苍-蝉肠猫苍别" means the arrangement of the scenery, props, on the set of a film or, more broadly, the social setting or surroundings of an event.
What films give the best idea of what it was like to be an American starting out in adult life as the 1960s bled into the 1970s? No mainstream films ever really got to grips with the Vietnam/Woodstock zeitgeist. Not Apocalypse Now, or The Deer Hunter, or The Big Chill. They were big budget, big studio imaginings.
But the zeitgeist called for films made well outside the studio system. Withnail, Performance, Tracks, Cutter's Way. These four films - two American-based, two English-based - made outside the studio system - or mutilated by it - get at the anarchic heart of the era.
