Come on Roland!

About This Movie

So, 'Come on Roland!' is a quirky little gem from 1966. You've got this young aspiring writer, Roland Jung, who's really just trying to make a living, right? The absurdity kicks in when he ends up working in a cosmetics department at an ad agency in Stockholm, diving into the world of deodorant. The pacing feels very deliberate, almost a slow burn, with a surreal atmosphere that’s quite engaging. The humor is absurdist, and the performances reflect that playful tone, with a dash of existential dread as he grapples with creativity and commercialism. It’s not your run-of-the-mill comedy, that's for sure, and stands out for its offbeat charm.

This film has been somewhat elusive in terms of availability, with very few prints surfacing since its initial release. It holds a niche appeal among collectors due to its odd comedic style and exploration of the advertising industry. Given its age and unique premise, it garners interest from those who appreciate offbeat cinema and the absurdist genre, making it a curious find for a collector's roster.
