100

About This Movie

100 (1971) is a documentary that really leans into an experimental vibe, you see. The film's pacing is rhythmic, almost hypnotic, as it features participants doing push-ups to a metronome ticking away, counting down from 100. It’s this strange blend of physicality and repetition that sticks with you. The repeated shouting of 'dog – pig – monkey' adds an oddball layer, evoking a sense of absurdity amidst the exertion. The simplicity of the visuals—just bodies moving in sync—creates an atmosphere that's oddly compelling. It’s not your typical documentary; it challenges how we think about endurance and performance while wrapping it all in a uniquely off-kilter presentation. Definitely one of those films that stays with you long after the credits roll.
