KILLER OF SHEEP (1978)
When all of your time and energy is devoted just to staying alive, what is the point of any of this? This rediscovered classic doesn’t have answers but wants to show you people asking the same questions.
THE 36TH CHAMBER OF SHAOLIN (1978)
A highly-influential (and deeply cheesy) kung fu movie, without which we not have “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,” or a slew of previous martial arts films.
GATES OF HEAVEN (1978)
