The 1970s was an extraordinary time of rebellion, of questioning every accepted idea: political activism, hedonism, protests, the sexual revolution, the women's movement, the civil rights movement, the music revolution, rage and liberation. Every standard by which we set our social and cultural clocks was either turned inside out or thrown away completely and reinvented.

Full Plot Details

The 1970s was an extraordinary time of rebellion, of questioning every accepted idea: political activism, hedonism, protests, the sexual revolution, the women's movement, the civil rights movement, the music revolution, rage and liberation. Every standard by which we set our social and cultural clocks was either turned inside out or thrown away completely and reinvented. For American cinema, the 1970s was an era during which a new generation of filmmakers created work for a new kind of audience--moviegoers who were hungry for stories that reflected their own experiences and who were turning their backs on aged old studio formulas. As a result, emerging filmmakers influenced by foreign directors such as Godard, Kurosawa and Fellini coupled with the social climate and a struggling studio system, converged to create a new kind of moviemaking. Through their choice of material, filmmakers such as Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Robert Altman, Peter Bogdanovich, William Friedkin, Roger Corman and Paul Schrader revolutionized mainstream movies and for the first time personal visions were coming out of the studio system.

Movie Reviews

Entertainment Weekly - 10/10 by Owen GleibermanThis documentary about the triumph of the New Hollywood employs a treasure trove of interviews and clips to create a rich understanding of the many forces -- cultural undertows, really -- that flowed together to fill the void left by the dying studio system.
Christian Science Monitor - 10/10 by David SterrittIt's illuminating and nostalgic and for anyone who lined up for American movies in that bygone golden age.
Film Journal International - 9/10 by Doris ToumarkineThe combination of access to so many of the era's players ... plus the entertaining clips and wise commentary into a unique period of cinema history, make Decade a pleasure to experience.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Mick LaSalleUnlike many documentaries about movies, it's neither underfunded nor perfunctory, but thoughtful and bracing.
eFilmCritic.com - 8/10 by Rob GonsalvesDemme and LaGravenese are just as happy to let the directors bask in their past glories and reminisce about those crazy days.
ColeSmithey.com - 8/10 by Cole SmitheyThis is a must-see documentary for any film lover.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Wesley MorrisThe movie star Julie Christie turned 62 last month, and anyone under the impression that she merely floated through her prime heedless of the age in which she worked should catch her in A Decade Under the Influence.
Variety - 8/10 by David RooneyAn entertaining, deeply respectful assessment of the directors and actors who rode the countercultural wave of the 1970s.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kevin ThomasIt is often remarked that the years between "Easy Rider" (1969) and "Star Wars" (1977) marked a second golden age in American filmmaking, and this documentary, as comprehensive as it is incisive, is a reminder of just how many terrific pictures came out during those years.
New York Daily News - 8/10 by Jack MathewsWhether you lived through the period and will have fond memories jostled, or are scouting for future DVD pleasures, the surest way to see a good movie in a theater this week is to see one about them.
