Anxious Automation

About This Movie

So, 'Anxious Automation' is an intriguing piece, kind of hard to pin down, you know? The film is wrapped in this almost surreal atmosphere, and the pacing can be a bit disorienting, which fits the theme of technology’s cold grip on humanity really well. The practical effects are low-key but have this raw quality that adds to its unsettling vibe. And then there's that Philip Glass soundtrack—it's like the heartbeat of the film, rhythmic and hypnotic, almost like the machines in the story are breathing with it. The performances are understated but effective, capturing a sense of anxiety that lingers long after the credits roll.

Anxious Automation has seen limited releases over the years, with original prints being quite rare. Collectors often note that the film's unconventional narrative and distinctive sound design set it apart from its contemporaries. Interest in it seems to be growing, especially among those who appreciate early 70s cinema and experimental works. If you can find a good quality version, it’s a unique addition that sparks conversation.
