Combat

About This Movie

So, 'Combat' is quite the intriguing piece from 2015, directed by someone whose name isn't widely recognized but definitely brings a unique vision. It’s the second part of Andrew Kötting's Head Trilogy, and it really dives deep into the concept of collective creativity through the lens of the 'Exquisite Corpse' game. The pacing feels somewhat dreamlike, almost meditative, while the visuals are a mix of found footage and practical effects that give it this raw, visceral vibe. There’s a contemplative atmosphere throughout, challenging your perception of travel and the psyche. It’s not your typical narrative structure, more of a visual poem that demands attention and thought, which makes it distinctive in Kötting’s body of work.

When it comes to the collector's market, 'Combat' has a modest presence, but it captures a niche interest due to its ties to Kötting's Head Trilogy. It’s somewhat scarce, as it's not frequently discussed among mainstream collectors, which adds to its allure. The format history includes limited releases, making it a curious find for those who appreciate experimental cinema and the exploration of artistic themes.
