About This Movie

A Suicide (1975) is this intriguing blend of crime and drama that dives deep into the murky waters of desire and desperation. The premise itself is stark; a man yearning for death and a woman eyeing fame, both colliding in a darkly twisted plan. The pacing has this slow burn that really lets the tension build, almost like watching a train wreck in slow motion. There’s an unsettling atmosphere throughout, enhanced by practical effects that stand out in their rawness. Performances feel gritty and real, pulling you into their chaotic world. It's a film that doesn't shy away from its moral questions, making it distinctively haunting and thought-provoking.

A Suicide has had a somewhat limited release history, and finding it in good condition can be a challenge. Many collectors value its stark storytelling and compelling performances, but its obscurity makes it a curious gem rather than a mainstream find. The film’s rarity and unconventional narrative have sparked interest among enthusiasts of 70s independent cinema, often leading to spirited discussions in collector circles.
