Wes' Biased Film Reviews - 1970 to 1979

Title Overall DVD Review Gay Content
Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970)        
Caligula (1979) ••
•• Hmm. Porno epic historical melodrama. It only works if the lead is truly vile, and here we are left with Malcolm McDowell. The sets are amazing, which tells you how involving the porno shots are. If this is what straight men find titillating, I'll stay gay. 05/01 Italian dick. The "gay" rape scene is unsexy, so don't rent it for that.
Eyes of Laura Mars (1978) ••
•• Fabulous 70s costumes and party scenes and a complete waste of Faye Dunaway and Tommy Lee Jones. 11/01 Good for Halloween ideas
The Garden of the Finzi- Continis (1970) ••
•• I'm sure that this was groundbreaking in the 70s, but it moves in realtime. The tale of Jewish Italians and their downfall is sentimental and perhaps too intellectual (not so intellectual that it was lifted for the dismally unfunny Tea with Mussolini). 10/01 The boys are beautiful
In the Realm of the Senses (1976)        
Picnic At Hanging Rock (1975)
