The TVI Take
1967 Best Picture nominee and cultural landmark. A directionless college graduate is seduced by an older woman, then falls for her daughter.
High cognitive demands from the satirical layering and visual storytelling. Educational value from its encapsulation of 1960s generational anxiety. Hoffman's debut and the Simon & Garfunkel soundtrack defined a generation.
