6/64: Mom and Dad (An Otto Mühl Happening)

About This Movie

So, 6/64: Mom and Dad is a fascinating piece from the mind of Otto Mühl. Kren's editing style is really something else; he crafts this intricate tapestry of shots that loop and intertwine, giving it a rhythmic feel. The film dives into themes of domesticity and the raw, almost chaotic energy of life, which is palpable throughout. There’s an experimental edge to it, and you can sense Kren’s intention to trap that whirlwind of emotion within a geometric framework. It’s not your traditional narrative, but rather a kind of visual poetry that challenges viewers to engage with form and feeling on a deeper level.

This film is quite rare, often floating under the radar for many collectors. There are limited formats available, which adds to its allure; the original prints are especially sought after. Interest seems to be growing as more people discover Kren's work and the unique experimental approach he took with this project. If you come across a copy, it’s definitely worth considering, especially for those deep into avant-garde cinema.
