Anything Can Happen

About This Movie

So, 'Anything Can Happen' from 1973 is one of those films that sits quietly in the background of the BFI's 'Police and Thieves' collection. The tone is pretty gritty, capturing the chaos and unpredictability of urban life. You get this sense of urgency throughout, almost like a ticking clock, which keeps you on edge. The practical effects are minimal but effective, adding to its raw feel. The performances have a certain sincerity; they pull you into the world without any frills. It's not about grand statements but rather the small, messy details of human interactions in a tough environment. There's a unique vibe that sticks with you after the credits roll.

'Anything Can Happen' is relatively hard to find on physical media, mostly floating around in collector circles and not widely available like some major releases. This obscurity lends it an air of intrigue among collectors, who appreciate the film's unique take on the police and thieves trope. Its inclusion in the BFI collection further highlights its significance, even if it doesn’t have the same visibility as more mainstream titles. Fans of gritty, urban narratives often seek this one out for its authentic portrayal of life in the 70s.
