Plastic Surgery (1975) ***

Girl (1975) ***

Vibration (1975) ***

Bohemian Rhapsody (1975) ****

A music video by Queen. A truly memorable piece of post-modernism.

Bang-A-Boomerang (1975) ***

ABBA's music video directed by Lasse Hallstrom.

Memorable documentary about a Vancouver cop.

Answer To A Higher Authority (1975) ***


Mamma Mia (1975) **

ABBA music video directed by Lasse Hallstrom.

I Do I Do I Do I Do I Do (1975) **

Here, Lasse Hallstrom opted for simplicity.

SOS (1975) **


Lasse Hallstrom tries hard in this ABBA music video, but the results are more pretentious than impressive.

Sisyphus (1975) ****

Great Isambard Kingdom Brunel (1975) ****

Thick Fog (1975) ***


Lumaaq The Eskimo Legend (1975) ***

Kick Me (1975) ***

Dynamic, kinetic cartoon drawn directly on the celluloid.

Monsieur Pointu (1975) ***

Amusing.

Pink DaVinci (1975) ***

Leonardo da Vinci has a problem with painting Mona Lisa's smiling lips (he wants her to frown), but Pink Panther soon makes the necessary corrections. The tug-of-war between the two characters is a little repetitive, but the film also shows how an enraged Leonardo bended the Tower of Pisa !

Illusion (1975) ***

Little children are playing in the fields. But then, a magician appears and transforms their rustic paradise into a horrible industrial wasteland. A very unsubtle allegory about a curse also known as civilization.
