Confidences

About This Movie

Confidences (1981) has this offbeat charm that draws you in right from the start. The premise of doctors, Dr. Sex and Dr. Mignon, taking over a female psychiatrist's practice lends itself to a rather intriguing dynamic. The pacing feels a bit erratic at times, which actually suits its exploration of the quirks of human relationships and sexuality. The performances, while sometimes over-the-top, contribute to the film's unique atmosphere, blending humor with a hint of drama. It’s not your typical narrative; there’s an oddball quality that makes it distinctive, almost like it's meandering through its themes but in a way that feels intentional and refreshing.

Confidences is a bit of a rarity in collector circles, often overshadowed by more mainstream titles from the era. It's available in a few obscure formats, but finding a good copy can be a challenge. Its odd blend of humor and drama keeps it interesting, and there’s a certain appeal in its eccentricity that collectors appreciate. The lack of a well-known director adds to its mystique, making it a curiosity piece for those who enjoy diving into lesser-known films of the early '80s.
