![Birth of the Living Dead [AKA Year of the Living Dead] (2013, dir. Rob Kuhns)](https://255review.files.wordpress.com/2020/04/botld-quad.jpg?w=621)
The making and impact of George A Romero’s 1968 horror film Night of the Living Dead. Genial documentary, focused on an interview with Romero himself plus genre stalwarts such as Larry Fessenden, making some straightforward though nevertheless valid points about the film’s counterculture origins and its social commentary, as well as on its genre status.

Once Upon A Time In … Hollywood (2019, dir. Quentin Tarantino)
In 1969 LA, a fading action star struggles with his future prospects. A stunning evocation of late 60s Hollywood, packed with ideas, in-jokes, good ideas, and pop-culture geekery. A shaggy dog story that meanders, but which goes into some startling – and just-about justified – places. Recommended: later novelised by Tarantino.
