About This Movie

Ex- (1968) is this fascinating piece that somehow captures the chaotic spirit of '68 through a wild arrangement of images and sounds. You feel the pulse of the counterculture era, almost like you're right there in the thick of it. The pacing can be jarring—quick cuts and unexpected transitions—that throw you into a world that feels both familiar and disorienting. It's got that raw energy reminiscent of American avant-garde films, and the practical effects, though simple, enhance that experimental vibe. There's something about the way it plays with perception and reality, making it a unique viewing experience, even if it doesn't fit neatly into a specific genre. It’s a true artifact of its time, that’s for sure.

Ex- has an intriguing history in the collector’s market, often surfacing in obscure circles due to its avant-garde nature. Formats are limited, which can make finding a decent copy a bit of a challenge. Interest tends to spike among those who appreciate experimental cinema, but it hasn’t reached the mainstream, ensuring that it remains relatively under the radar. The film’s scarcity and unique vision contribute to a niche but passionate collector base.
