    Quote:
    In 1975 Nina Shivdasani Rovshen (aka Nina Sugati SR), made Chhatrabhang – the first Indian film to win the International Fipresci critics award. This 80 min 35mm colour film was shot by AK Bir over a period of 2 weeks, and edited over 1 year by the filmmaker herself. The film was made within Rs 2 lakhs and has rarely been screened in India. Based on a true story, Chhatrabhang explores caste dynamics in a drought stricken village in rural India. This complex film transforms a 3 line news report into a lyrical feature film about the trauma of dilemma, and the processes involved in resolve, change and reform.Read More »

  • Something Weird Video – Too Much Loving AKA Robot Love Slaves (1971)

    1971-1980CultEroticaSomething Weird VideoUSA

    Quote:
    A skeevy tale. Gangly-looking scientist Clark is too distracted by his latest project to pay sufficient attention to his nagging wife, who wants him to give her warm baths because she likes to pretend she can’t walk (or something). As it turns out, hubby’s spending all his time in the basement turning young women (maybe from corpses; it’s a little unclear) into automated robot servants designed to give pleasure to anyone in sight. Various other couplings in the neighborhood culminate when wifey, hubby and her lover end up in the basement with the robot concubines, complete with a sort-of twist ending. Apparently intended to be softcore in nature, though a scene with regular early-’70s performer Billy Lane is clearly unsimulated based on a few camera slip ups.

    1971-1980DramaJoan Micklin SilverRomanceUSA

    Quote:
    Charles is a Salt Lake City civil servant who loves (*LOVES*) Laura, a lovely housewife with a lovely step-daughter and an A-frame-selling, ex-quarterback husband named Ox. His roommate is “an unemployed jacket salesman,” his mother is a spacey, laxative overdosing, overly eccentric basket-case, his perpetually happy sister finds love in the dorkiest of guys, his step-father has a jones for Turtle Wax and his boss asks him for advice about his Ivy League son’s sexual problems. He listens to Janis Joplin and dreams of getting Laura back once and for all. He does everything in his power to win her back from Ox, and the lengths he goes to provide the structure of the film in this bittersweet romantic comedy…a film that explores what happened to the Woodstock generation when they transcended their idealism (i.e. it was expected that they fall in love and face the music of routine). Charles is perhaps the quintessential saint of this ideology.Read More »
