Emotion

About This Movie

Emotion (1966) is this intriguing blend of drama, fantasy, and horror that really draws you in with its experimental style. The pacing, while a bit uneven, feels deliberate, almost dreamlike, as we follow this young girl, Emi, on her journey to the city. There, she meets Sari, who’s like a reflection of her own desires and fears, and the film takes a wild turn with the whole vampire angle. It's got a strange, haunting atmosphere – the practical effects are rough around the edges but add a unique charm. The performances carry a raw emotional weight, capturing that blend of innocence and allure that's hard to shake off. It's definitely one of those films that leaves you thinking long after it ends.

Emotion has had a limited release history, making it somewhat of a rarity among collectors. The film's experimental nature and unique themes make it a fascinating piece for those interested in avant-garde cinema. Due to its obscure director and the niche blend of genres, interest tends to be high among serious enthusiasts, and finding a good print can be challenging.
