The Empty Seventies begin on October 17, 1968, when Bullitt is released. The phrase refers to a body of movies and recordings, though other texts fill out the field. The word “empty” holds the music of the phrase. Other words do better work as sense but fail as sound: silent, still, patient, open, quiet, spacious. The tang of negation rises from “empty” and we need that smoke coming up through the floor.
