Working on a list in letterboxxd about films that look back to another time and through it's recreation, make something new from old.
Hit me with your best Period Piece from any era (the format I'm using is for example, Dazed and Confused(1997) The 70's by the 90's + a little observation of what do you think it added, removed or changed by recalling that era) (I also have a list for films become time capsules of their own time)
Hope you enjoy and remember: If you don't know where to set your story, you can always set it in 50's America
goodbye lenin(Late 80s)
in a way this movie is meta. its made in 2003 looking back to 80s east germany. In the movie, the characters are already feeling nostalgic for a few months ago when east germany was still separate and socialist
I always forget about this movie! Always saw it in blockbuster and movie stores, gotta give it a try one of these days. Thanks machinego, it's getting added!
Added! any comments on this depiction of the 50's by the 70's?
