Welcome to the vibrant world of 1980s cinema. In your hands is a chronicle of the decade’s most influential films, as seen through the eyes of the critics and reporters of the time.

Within these pages, you will explore bold narratives, pioneering directors, and unforgettable performances that redefined film history and reshaped popular culture.
