Confessor

About This Movie

Confessor (1974) offers a curious blend of urban isolation and surreal storytelling. The protagonist, a rather unsettling figure, eavesdrops on the intimate lives of women through bugged phone lines, weaving together slices of existence that feel both voyeuristic and oddly poignant. The stories range from a woman's disillusionment with her sterile knight to a hauntingly absurd relationship with a mannequin. There's this raw, almost gritty atmosphere that permeates the film, enhanced by a slow pacing that allows the tension to simmer. It’s distinctive not just for its taboo subjects but also for its exploration of loneliness and connection, making it a fascinating piece for any collector interested in the oddities of 70s cinema.

Confessor has a somewhat obscure standing among collectors, likely due to its unknown director and limited availability. Formats are scarce, with few prints surfacing over the years, which adds to its allure. It’s a film that appeals to those with a taste for the unconventional and the strange, and its unique themes keep it relevant in discussions about experimental cinema from the 70s.
