Bottoms

About This Movie

So, 'Bottoms' is this curious piece by Yoko Ono. It dives into a surreal world, almost dreamlike in its execution. The pacing feels off-kilter, intentionally so, leading you through a range of emotions rather than a straight narrative. The practical effects are low-fi but they really add to the rawness of the whole experience. You’re left to ponder the themes of identity and societal norms, and Ono’s unique touch is unmistakable, weaving personal and cultural commentary throughout. Performances, while not traditionally polished, have this genuine quality that pulls you in, making it distinct in the landscape of 60s avant-garde cinema.

The film 'Bottoms' has a bit of a niche following among collectors, partly due to its experimental nature and Ono's reputation. Formats are limited, and original prints are quite rare, often fetching attention in auction circles. It doesn’t come up often, which piques interest for those who appreciate avant-garde cinema, though many may not have seen it. So, if you're into films that challenge expectations and push boundaries, this one definitely has a space in the collection.
