A Common Sense of Modesty

About This Movie

A Common Sense of Modesty is quite the curious piece from 1976. It’s structured in four episodes, each threading together elements of sex and comedy in a rather loose, playful way. The tone can be a bit uneven, oscillating between farcical and surprisingly earnest. The pacing has a leisurely feel, which allows for some oddball moments that might catch you off guard. The performances, while not exactly award-winning, have this charmingly raw vibe, lending a certain authenticity to the humor. It's distinctive for its blend of raunchiness and introspection, something not often tackled in the genre. Overall, it’s a film that feels like a snapshot of its time, a little rough around the edges but definitely interesting.

This film isn't commonly found on the market, making any format, especially original prints or rare VHS editions, quite sought after among collectors. Its unique mixture of comedy and sexual themes gives it a distinctive place in the 1970s film landscape, appealing to those curious about how the era tackled such subjects. While not a mainstream success, its scarcity and odd charm have fostered a niche appreciation within certain collector circles.
