Movie Reviews of Treasures IV: American Avant-Garde Film, 1947-1986

Movie Review: silent film fan
Summary: 1 Stars

This is my first review so i will keep it brief. I own all four treasures. The first two are excellent, i haven't watched the third one yet. This one is horrible unless you like watching dull and blurry films.The movies begin,Saved from the flames, and Avant garde 1 are all better choices.
