A Decade Under the Influence

American cinema of the 1970s exhales through archival clips and intimate interviews. Directors who defined a generation recount their rebellion against the stale studio machinery. The lens captures raw reflections on creative freedom, artistic risk, and the emergence of anti-heroes from the cultural margins. It’s a journey through a decade that plowed Hollywood under, blending auteur vision with mainstream appeal. We witness the birth of a new wave, where every film served as a manifesto and every filmmaker spoke in the vernacular of the streets and societal discontent.
