LOST TREASURE:  PETULIA (1968)

A bold film in attitude and execution -- it plays more contemporary than most of what's on screen today.   Unforced yet powerful work by Julie Christie and George C. Scott makes this chilly, truthful film inescapable.  Richard Lester's ahead-of-its-time flash cutting and time jumping amplifies the emotional punch.  Nicholas Roeg's distanced, stylized cinematography is inseparable from the material.  Tough stuff as mirrors can be, but a must watch.
