Eat the Sun

About This Movie

'Eat the Sun' presents a fascinating dive into the absurdity of new age spirituality through its mockumentary lens. The film’s pacing is deliberately meandering, mirroring the often confusing nature of its subject matter. The Temple of Self Amplification, with its quirky rituals and earnest followers, is brought to life by a cast that feels genuinely invested, even if the performances have a certain offbeat charm. The practical effects used in the bio-video feedback sequences give a unique visual flair, elevating its DIY aesthetic. Overall, it’s a curious film that walks the line between satire and sincerity, exploring themes of enlightenment with a distinctly quirky atmosphere.

'Eat the Sun' has had a rather limited release history, often floating under the radar of mainstream collectors. Its scarcity has made it a curious find, especially for those interested in oddities from the 70s. There’s a dedicated niche audience that appreciates the film's unique take on new age culture, and it often sparks discussion in collector circles about its themes and execution.
