City Pasture

About This Movie

"City Pasture" is one of those curious little gems that defies easy categorization. It weaves together a series of vignettes, contrasting the chaos of a snowstorm at Disney World with the quietude of rural Maine, and throws in a wild mix of characters – an old man with stories, a strip tease, and even a mugging that gets turned on its head. The pacing feels almost dreamlike, like you’re drifting between thoughts and memories, which makes it both disorienting and fascinating. The practical effects are minimal, relying more on the surreal atmosphere and the performances that give it a quirky charm. Not something you’d find just anywhere, it’s an oddly compelling look at life’s absurdities, and definitely leaves you pondering what it all means.

Finding a copy of "City Pasture" can be quite a challenge, as it never really hit the mainstream and is often overlooked in discussions of 70s cinema. The film has had a few VHS releases, but it’s not common to see it on shelves. Collectors who appreciate the obscure and the offbeat might find this film particularly appealing, not only for its unique storytelling but also for its rarity. It's one of those titles that sparks conversation among those in-the-know, often leaving them wondering why it hasn't received more attention.
