6.95: Striptease

About This Movie

So, '6.95: Striptease' is an oddity, for sure. It’s not your typical striptease film, but more like a conceptual art piece. Brian Frye doing his thing—it's all about the reverse motion, which makes for a bizarre viewing experience as you watch him un-dress in a way that’s almost hypnotic. The pacing is deliberately slow; it feels like you're caught in some kind of strange loop. That atmosphere, combined with the unexpected choice of practical effects, gives it a surreal edge. The way Frye’s movements turn into this abstract dance makes it stand out from the usual fare. It's like a glimpse into an experimental mindset that can be both thought-provoking and amusing, depending on how you look at it.

This film is a bit of an enigma in the collector's realm, often overshadowed by more mainstream titles. Its format history is sparse, and it’s rarely seen in collections, which adds to its allure. The interest seems to be rising, especially among those who appreciate experimental cinema. Finding a copy can be a challenge, making it a fascinating piece for those who enjoy digging into the eccentric corners of film history.
