Feel

About This Movie

Feel (1971) is one of those curious entries that embodies a different time in cinema. The atmosphere is surprisingly evocative, capturing the essence of a bygone era with its raw, unrefined charm. The pacing leans towards the languid side, allowing moments to breathe, which may not suit everyone, but it works well here. Tina Russell's performance is, quite frankly, compelling in its authenticity—she brings a certain honesty to the character that feels refreshingly real. Considering this was made during a time when the industry was shifting away from the 'whitecoater' style, it stands out as an interesting artifact, drawing in those who appreciate the early days of adult cinema and its evolution.

Feel has had a somewhat uneven journey in terms of availability, showing up in various formats over the years, but it remains a bit elusive for collectors. The scarcity of original prints adds to its allure, appealing to those who appreciate the evolution of adult films. It’s particularly sought after by fans of Tina Russell, as her early work provides a fascinating glimpse into the industry's past. This film may not have the polish of later productions, but that's part of its distinct appeal for serious collectors.
