Write 300 words about the film you watched, including

what it contributed formally/culturally to the New American Cinema,
what you learned about it in your research,
and what contemporary films you can think of that seem to owe a debt of gratitude to this historic film.

DO NOT cut/paste anything from the internet into your post. DO include insights/history from more than just Wikipedia.

Make the subject heading of your post the title of the film you watched.

The movies list is in the attachment.
