Automan

About This Movie

So, Automan, huh? It's a curious piece from '88, shot on 16mm which gives it this raw, gritty vibe. I mean, really captures that experimental feel. The plot revolves around a boy and a girl, and there's this car—classic, but it’s more about the flesh and desire than just a joyride. The pacing’s a bit all over the place, which oddly adds to its charm. The performances feel genuine, almost like you’re peeking into their world. It’s distinctive because it doesn’t follow conventional storytelling; it’s more about emotions and moments. A real head-scratcher but in a fascinating way.

Automan has become quite the niche find among collectors, often elusive in its original 16mm format. Over the years, it hasn’t seen many re-releases, making it a bit of a rarity. Enthusiasts appreciate its experimental nature and the unique storytelling approach, which sets it apart from more mainstream offerings from the late '80s. The interest in such films has been growing, especially among those who cherish offbeat cinema.
