A côté des orties is one of those films that intrigues with its elusive nature. The tone is quite atmospheric, almost dreamlike, where you get lost in its world rather than just observing it. It has this peculiar pacing; scenes linger just long enough to make you feel something deeper, but you’re never quite sure what that feeling is. It explores themes of isolation and connection, which gives it a haunting quality. There’s a raw charm to the performances — not overly polished, but they capture the essence of their characters. The practical effects, while subtle, add to the film’s unique character, making it stand out in a way that’s hard to articulate. It's definitely a conversation starter among collectors.
This film has a bit of a cult following among collectors, though its scarcity makes it a challenge to find. Early editions were released on limited formats, increasing its desirability over time. There’s a certain mystique surrounding it, which often leads to discussions about its themes and execution. If you come across a copy, it's worth considering for a more eclectic collection.
