Review of Phase IV (1974) by Ken S — 08 Jan 2011
How did Saul Bass not direct more films? This little gem from 1974 is AWESOMELY shot. Did I mention the cinematographers name was Dick Bush? So much amazing cutaway and macro work. That combined with tight editing makes Phase IV is the 2001 of "we're being attacked ants!" movies.
Now I know what your saying,.
"Saul Bass, the title sequence goto guy for Hitchcock and Scorsese? Made a movie about being attacked by ants? This has to be a joke. I mean Dick Bush?
Yes, THAT Saul Bass made a really intelligent film about a colony of intelligent ants and it's very much worth checking out.
