Bedtime

About This Movie

Bedtime (1967) is quite the intriguing piece, really. It captures a moment in time, opening right after one intimate encounter and lingering just before another. The dialogue is raw, unfiltered—these characters are caught in a web of emotional complexity, neither tied by love nor the conventional bonds of marriage. It's minimalist, almost theatrical in its approach, which gives it a certain intimacy and tension. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the viewer to soak in the atmosphere, which is heavy with unspoken feelings. And while the director's identity remains shrouded in mystery, the performances carry a weight that just draws you in, making you ponder the nature of relationships and human connection.

This film has quite the niche following, though it's not the easiest to find in print. Originally released on VHS, there’s a fair bit of collector interest, especially among those drawn to under-the-radar 60s dramas. Its scarcity in DVD format only heightens its allure, and while it might not be the crown jewel of a collection, it certainly tells a story that resonates with those who appreciate character-driven narratives.
