Film or Power

About This Movie

Film or Power (1970) stands out as an intriguing piece of cinema, reflecting Vlado Kristl's radical approach to filmmaking. The atmosphere is raw, focusing heavily on the interplay of art and politics during a turbulent time. The pacing is often meditative, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in Kristl's unique vision. The performances feel genuine, almost like a documentary, which adds to its distinctive character. It’s an anakofilm, blurring the lines of traditional narrative, and that makes it a fascinating watch for anyone interested in avant-garde cinema.

This title has seen various formats over the years, but it's quite scarce on physical media, particularly in decent condition. Collector interest is modest but growing, as Kristl's works become more recognized for their experimental nature. If you manage to find a copy, it often sparks great discussion among collectors about its artistic merit and Kristl's influence on independent cinema.
