Bits

About This Movie

So, 'Bits' from 1977 is this fascinating piece that really plays with visual perception. The way it layers imagery creates this dreamlike atmosphere, almost like you're drifting through a fluid tapestry. It's not your typical narrative-driven film—more of an exploration of texture and color that morphs right before your eyes. You catch glimpses of everyday objects, like curtains, but they twist and turn in ways that almost feel alive. There's a hypnotic quality to the pacing, and the practical effects really stand out, giving it a tactile feel. I wouldn’t call it conventional by any means, but that’s part of its allure, you know? It invites you to lose yourself in its visual experimentation.

Finding a copy of 'Bits' can be quite the endeavor as it didn't have a wide release. It's been largely overshadowed by more mainstream films of the era, but those who appreciate experimental cinema tend to seek it out. The scarcity combined with its distinctive visual approach makes it a curiosity that often piques interest among serious collectors. Previous formats mostly include obscure VHS releases, making any decent condition copy a rare gem in collector circles.
