Dr. A. Long's Divan

About This Movie

So, 'Dr. A. Long's Divan' is this intriguing piece from '84 that dives into the relationship between fantasy and therapy. Gabor plays the hypnotic doc, and there’s this wild element where each patient’s fantasies are visually brought to life – all while they’re getting intimate on the couch. It’s not the cleanest of films in terms of hygiene, but it certainly has a raw, unfiltered vibe that feels kind of daring for its time. The pacing has that almost dream-like quality, which is fitting given the subject matter. You get a mix of drama and a hint of taboo, making it quite a conversation starter in any collection.

This film has had a sparse distribution history, often appearing in underground circles or niche genre collections. The rare VHS and DVD prints are collectible but not highly sought after, mainly due to the film's explicit nature and limited audience appeal. Still, there’s a certain allure for collectors interested in avant-garde cinema or erotic dramas from the era, as it’s not commonly found in mainstream collections.
