Discuss classic films (~1973 or earlier) that will hopefully bring more awareness of them as both entertainment as well as an art form.

I’m a fan of slice of life type movies that showcase a point of time in someone’s life, a relationship, or culture.

Big fan of movies like About Elly, Twelve Angry Men, Ikiru.

I have the Criterion and Arrow video streaming services and like to pick random movies on there from time to time.

Any recommendations would be highly appreciated!

Curious if you watched it yet.

I did! Unfortunately I had to watch it on Plex… so it was interrupted every 15 minutes with 2 minutes of ads…

But… I enjoyed the movie! Thanks for the recommendation! The first courtroom scene did an amazing job of establishing the backstory. Something about how the other lawyer presented the case was really engaging.

I also felt like the filmmaker did a good job of making me feel the contrast between their happy holiday and the impending doom of having to return to court.

All in all it was a fun engaging movie!
