So, 'Christmas on Earth' is quite the unique piece from 1963, isn’t it? It’s not your typical documentary; it dives deep into performance art with a raw, unfiltered look at genital worshipping. The film's tinted visuals add this trippy layer to its exploration of free-love, making for both a celebratory and somewhat provocative atmosphere. Clocking in at 29 minutes, it maintains a brisk pace that keeps you engaged, though it may leave some scratching their heads. Rubin's work here feels like a snapshot of a more experimental time in cinema, blending eroticism with a sense of community. It really captures the essence of its era, perhaps not for everyone, but definitely a distinctive piece for those curious about avant-garde cinema.
This film is a rarity, with few surviving prints making it a sought-after piece for collectors of experimental cinema. Its limited release and niche subject matter have made it a subject of intrigue, particularly among those interested in the underground film scene of the 1960s. Various formats have surfaced over the years, but finding a clean, quality version is becoming more challenging, which adds to its appeal among collectors.
