THE VALLEY (OBSCURED BY CLOUDS)

Director: Barbet Schroeder
Actors: Bulle Ogier, Jean-Pierre Kalfon, Michael Gothard and Valerie Lagrange
Year: 1972
Genre: Adventure and Drama
Conclusion: 4/5
This film is regarded as a cult classic. When this film was first released it was rated an X certificate for its nudity and adult themes. I have to say that this film isn’t for everyone. I thoroughly enjoyed the musical soundtrack by Pink Floyd although apparently the filmmakers fell out with the band by the end of the film. Film critic Mark Kermode quoted about this film “At the end can you see the valley?”.
