Candy

About This Movie

So, Candy, 1969, it's this curious art film by Per Arnoldi. It immerses you in a world of vibrant colors and playful absurdities. The film meanders through this landscape of sugary delights and whimsical oddities—think cakes, candies, and all sorts of kitsch. It's not just a visual feast; there's a certain pacing to it that feels almost hypnotic. You’ll notice how the redundant ornaments are both delightful and nonsensical, provoking thought about beauty and excess. The performances are understated yet fitting, adding to the film's unique charm. It's this odd blend of the mundane and the surreal that really makes it stand out in the realm of experimental cinema.

Candy has a somewhat niche appeal, making it a bit of a rarity among collectors. You'll find it mainly in obscure art film collections, and its oddball nature draws in a specific audience. The various formats over the years haven't really saturated the market, which keeps it interesting for those who appreciate unique cinematic experiences. Scarcity and a distinct thematic approach certainly bolster its allure for collectors who appreciate the more avant-garde side of film history.
