About This Movie

So, there's this film from '67, directed by Mario Schifano, who really takes a personal approach here. It’s not your typical documentary; it feels almost like an intimate diary. The way he captures his friends and the everyday moments creates a tone that’s genuine, and at times, contemplative. The mechanical gaze of the camera provides this unique filter—sometimes it feels invasive, other times poetic. It's fascinating how Schifano blends life with art, using the mundane as a canvas. It’s less about a scripted narrative and more about the fleeting essence of life in that era, which makes it distinctive and engaging in a very raw way.

This film has seen limited releases over the years, making original prints somewhat rare, especially in decent condition. Collectors often seek out any available formats, but its scarcity means it doesn’t pop up very often. The film’s unique take on personal documentary storytelling garners genuine interest among those who appreciate the blend of art and life in cinema, leading to a dedicated niche of collectors who value its historical context.
