BREAKDOWN 1975
This is a Netflix documentary on the state of America and cinema in 1975, which is said to be the last year where independent films and a bleak outlook could be top at the box office.
This is a kind of interesting look where the film industry was 50 years ago. It has tons of clips, great talking heads and absolutely the worst organization in a film on film I've seen...probably ever. mForgive me but I lived through the time and I was a film goer and a film fan and I saw what happened, but I had a really hard time understanding what they were aiming for. There is no real organization, just a dropping of subjects randomly, which are followed by a weird wandering off in another direction because well they need to give context for the point they are trying to make... but which they really don't because the film gets distracted.
I needed several tries to get through it...and while the bits are great the whole is just not worth it.
MURDER IN MONACO
This is a look at the death of Edmond Safra examamining who was behind it.
Don't read on the film, just get a boel of popcorn and some drinks and then sit down for one hell of a ride. This is one of the great finds of 2025. It's a twisty turny film that made me stop working on the computer to just sit and watch the film because I didn't want to miss anything. When it was done I sat there slack jawed wondering what in the hell I had just seen, and what had actually just happened because... I'm not sure.
That's a rave.
I have no clue how this will play on a second viewing but on a first- it's a wild ride you must take.
