IG Decade Challenge 1960-1969

 The New Wave and Beyond

[2020]

So I’ve decided to do recaps after every decade for my movie challenge. The challenge I gave myself was to watch a different movie every day that I’ve never seen before, progressing from 1960 to 2019 (with occasional repeat years if there’s another film I especially wanted to check out), with the added challenge of never repeating the same director. I’ve been posting 45-60 second clips in my story after each film where I also give a one-sentence plot explanation and why the film would be worth checking out (not all of them are tho 🙃). 

1960-1969

Films watched: 14

Directed by: Satyajit Ray; Curtis Harrington; Akira Kurosawa; François Truffaut; Louis Malle; Alain Robbe-Grillet; Jan Němec; Federico Fellini; Hiroshi Teshigahara; Jack Hill; Miloš Forman; Nagisa Oshima; Mai Zetterling; Costa-Gavras

Top five favorites:
1. Juliet of the Spirits (1965)
2. The Girls (1968)
3. L’Immortelle (1963)
4. Z (1969)
5. The Fire Within (1963)

Really looking forward to what else is in store because I am having a stupid amount of fun with this and discovering some new filmmakers who I will definitely be digging into more later. If any of y’all are intrigued by any of these movies or directors feel free to hit me up with questions. And song credit for the supercut I made is “eVE” by Black Milk.
