Angels

About This Movie

So, 'Angels' from 1976 presents this odd mix of drama and a touch of the surreal. You've got Leon, this controversial artist, who's caught in some divine crossfire. The angels, who are supposed to help but end up making things murky, really set a tone that’s hard to pin down. There's this wild pacing, and the practical effects, while not perfect, have a charm that's hard to overlook. Performances vary—some are quite striking in their delivery, others feel a bit off, but that just adds to its distinctive flavor. It’s a film that feels like a fever dream, tackling themes of fate and morality, all while wrapped in this almost chaotic vibe that leaves you thinking long after it ends.

'Angels' has seen some limited releases over the years, and it’s not exactly easy to find, making it somewhat of a collector's curiosity. The VHS tapes float around, but good condition copies are a bit rare. Interest in this film has grown among niche collectors who appreciate its unconventional storytelling and the mysterious director, which just adds another layer to its allure. If you stumble upon this film, it’s worth grabbing for its uniqueness and the conversations it might spark.
