IG Decade Challenge 1970-1979
Make It Darker
[2020]
As New Waves spread across the world, the 70s were a decade of super-charged politics, gritty atmospheres, freewheeling experimentation, increasing violence, disorienting paranoia, and above all, with the widespread accessibility of color technology: STYLE! STYLE! STYLE! Holy balls were these babies stylin’! Plus I got to catch unseen films from old favorites like Roeg, Herzog and Antonioni, and I finally had the pleasure of being introduced to such legends as Miyazaki, Fassbinder, Shepitko, and Erice. Damn I love the 70s.
1970-1979

Song for the recap vid is “Forest Families” by The Knife. Never edited to something that fast-paced before but I think it appropriately matches the atmosphere of the decade.
