There’s a moment in Focus Features’ forthcoming film Pirate Radio in which Philip Seymour Hoffman, as the rebellious DJ “The Count,” says, “These are the best days of our lives.” For rock ‘n’ roll, the 60s – when the film is set – was the high watermark, but when was the equivalent time for movies? For a lot of people, and particularly those who love American cinema, the zenith came in the 1970s, when the collapse of the studio system resulted in a changing of the guard that led to the production of much more daring, interesting and innovative movies. At Omaha’s Film Streams, you can catch some of the cream of the crop from that era in New Hollywood: American 70s, a season which kicks off with two films that are not, in fact, from the 1970s: Dennis Hopper’s Easy Rider (1969) and Martin Scorsese’s Raging Bull (1980). (Those two films are, though, a sly reference to the definitive book on New Hollywood, Peter Biskind’s Easy Riders, Raging Bulls.) It’s literally impossible to pick out highlights from a line-up so universally strong, though films like Hal Ashby’s The Landlord (1970), Elaine May’s A New Leaf (1971) deserve special mention as lesser known but very underrated movies among the ranks of titans like Apocalypse Now, The Exorcist, Chinatown, Dog Day Afternoon, Taxi Driver, Nashville and Days of Heaven, all of which are also screening.
