Dolphin

About This Movie

So, 'Dolphin' is this curious little flick from the 70s set in the Virgin Islands. The premise is kind of wild; you've got this receptionist who gets swept up in a bizarre romance with a dolphin. It’s both whimsical and oddly unsettling, especially with the scientist losing grip on reality—there’s a unique tension there. The pacing might feel a bit leisurely, but it allows you to really soak in the atmosphere of the tropics and the emotional turmoil of the characters. Practical effects are interesting too, bringing a tangible feel to those underwater scenes. Performances are a mixed bag, but they have a certain earnestness that makes the whole experience oddly compelling. It's definitely distinctive, that’s for sure.

This film hasn't seen a lot of releases, making it somewhat elusive for collectors. It's known to have circulated mainly in VHS format, with a few rare DVD editions popping up, though they’re often hard to track down. Interest seems to be growing due to its unconventional storyline and the peculiar niche it occupies, appealing to those who appreciate the oddities of 70s cinema.
