OTHER
The French new wave of film makers has been responsible for some of the most inventive and interesting work being done in motion pictures. The common denominators have been youth, exuberance, and a disrespect for what have traditionally been taken as established film-making procedures. Twenty-four-year-old Jean Albicocco is the latest addition. In this, his first film, he has tackled an unusually difficult and complex subject, the detailed exploration of a strange love affair, employing a number of exceptional visual effects suggesting a subtle, bizarre undertone throughout this film.

The San Francisco International showed Lina Wertm’ller’s first film, The Lizards, in 1963. A favorite of Bay Area audiences, her features All Screwed Up and The Seduction of Mimi had their U.S. premieres at the SFIFF in 1972 and 1974.
