A couple more European delicacies. Jacques Tati’s Playtime. Víctor Erice’s The Spirit of the Beehive.

French encounters with modernity. Louis Malle’s Le feu follet. Godard’s 2 or 3 Things I Know About Her.

Two American classics. Cassavetes’ anxious The Killing of a Chinese Bookie. Terence Malick’s gorgeous Days of Heaven.
