Excess

About This Movie

Excess (1989) has this off-kilter vibe that really sets it apart. The film follows Matthew Windsor as he navigates a chaotic day filled with relentless sexual encounters, which creates a kind of surreal tension. The pacing is almost frenetic at times, reflecting the absurdity of his situation, and there’s an underlying commentary on desire and societal norms, though it's pretty tongue-in-cheek. The performances are a mixed bag, but they add to the film's raw, unpolished feel. It’s one of those oddities that doesn’t quite fit into any genre, making it distinctive for collectors looking for something a bit outside the usual fare.

Excess was released in a limited format, making original copies somewhat hard to come by. The film has gained a niche interest among collectors who appreciate its quirky narrative and offbeat performances. Keep an eye out for rare VHS editions, as they tend to pop up at conventions or through specialty film distributors. Overall, it's a fascinating piece for anyone delving into the eclectic corners of late '80s cinema.
