Disturbance (among the jars)

About This Movie

So, Disturbance (among the jars) is a curious piece, really. It dives into Gnostic themes, adapting texts that some might find esoteric. The pacing isn’t typical; it’s fragmented—like a collage of thoughts, which mirrors the very nature of the texts it draws from. You feel this atmosphere that’s both contemplative and unsettling at times. The performances, though not from mainstream faces, have a raw authenticity that pulls you in. Practical effects are minimal but impactful, emphasizing the themes of disconnection and searching for truth. It’s definitely a film that challenges the viewer, and it stays with you long after the credits roll.

This film is somewhat of a hidden gem, with limited releases over the years. Finding a good-quality copy can be tricky, as it’s not widely distributed. As for collector interest, it’s certainly piqued among those who appreciate niche adaptations and Gnostic literature. The variations in formats—especially any early VHS releases—are particularly sought after, given the film's unique thematic exploration.
