Oscar Party! Tonite we're gonna party 1976 (Profumo di Donna, Promised Land)

Hoo-ah. Oscar Party! We're going back 50 years, to 1975, another great year for movies. There are many movies that look amazing that we've never heard of, and some Hollywood movies that are so classic we should just watch them again. We have four more movies to watch. This week, Profumo di donna (can you figure out what that means in English?), and The Promised Land (a Polish classic), and we'll end with two more all-time favorite Hollywood movies, Three Days of the Condor and Dog Day Afternoon (the two Sydneys! (Sidney/Sydney)). I tried to whittle it down to four movies, but there are just too many great ones to see. I had to cut out a lot of interesting ones to get it to eight. We're doing double features again: you can watch both or one or the other or watch none and not come (or, of course, you're welcome even if you haven't watched them). This week, two more Best Foreign Film nominees, Profumo di Donna (Italian), and Promised Land (Polish) These are the best kind of movies--so obscure they're hard to even find online. Here are links: Profumo di Donna is on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjfmIFmSsOw (You have to hit the CC button to turn on the subtitles). For the Promised Land, we're REALLY creeping into the shady corners of the internet. It's on ok.ru, and the subtitles are in English, but the English subtitles are written OVER another set of subtitles, in Turkish! Disconcerting! Good cinema should be difficult: https://ok.ru/video/2225616849588 Make sure you do not watch the Al Pacino remake! Here are the remaining movies we'll be watching: April 10: Profumo di donna The Promised Land April 24: Three Days of the Condor Dog Day Afternoon These movies are available on all the streaming services, or as always you can also find a (free) link to them here: https://gregoryberry.net/1976oscars/ (coming soon!) We will meet on Friday, April 10, at 8PM, at LEANING TOWER OF PIZZA at 24th Street and Lyndale, same as always. See you there!
