THX 1138

w/d George Lucas Robert Duvall

His first and best film...by far. What happened to this guy? He has spent his career putting out money-making junk when by the evidence shown here he had a real sense of film as art. This was imaginative, visually stunning and original, had outstanding sound design and used found locations brilliantly to create a futuristic mise-en-scene.

Watta shame. I'm sure he sees his as a successful career...I mean, look at all the money the Star Wars franchise brought in...but I'll bet deep down, in the middle of the night perhaps, he knows, he knows.
