Film workshop "The 70s, the last revolution in Hollywood"

The fall of the strict and puritan Hays Code, in force in the industry from 1934 to 1968, seems to be more than a coincidence for a generation of young filmmakers to offer Hollywood in the 70s the last great burst of imagination at the service of the business. Time of film students recruited by the studios and avid film buffs, who felt the New Wave as a beacon, and when magnificent films were made that range from very personal works to the germ of the current model to generate sagas and blockbusters. Such diversity of bets and views urges us to remain silent when trying to define a common point beyond the temporal lapse for a prodigious era.

When looking for an alternative to this and other dilemmas, it can be certified that, just as its French colleagues did a decade earlier, Hollywood cinema abandoned the artificial perfection of the illuminated studio to move filming to the streets and thus marvel at that window to reality. Complicated decade for the US, with the exit from Vietnam and Watergate, the political and social noise filled the screen. Epic in which the protagonists were not superheroes, but journalists, war veterans, taxi drivers, frustrated robbers and the only characters who seem indestructible are children of a family curse, which pits them against their own blood to the death. Sagas with ideological and biblical overtones as can be seen with the Corleones in The Godfather (1 and 2) and the birth of the Skywalker dynasty in Star Wars.

The 70s are a universe lost in time but immortal on the screen, and for any viewer who understands cinema as a pleasant learning experience, it is a destination that cannot be postponed.
