settima#Bales2023FilmChallenge December 7: a Judith/Judy for #NationalJudithDay
#BenMaddow, #SidneyMeyers, & #JosephStrick's The Savage Eye (US, 1959/60) follows divorcée Judith X's lonely exploration of a gritty, hopeless LA. Filmed over 4 years by #HaskellWexler, #HelenLevitt, and #JackCouffer in #CinémaVérité style, Eye feels naked and raw, and broke ground for the American New Wave that came crashing in a decade later ☞ https://write.underworld.fr/settima/the-savage-eye-1959
