Forbidden Cherries

About This Movie

Forbidden Cherries is this curious slice of late '80s cinema, wrapped in enigma. The tone leans towards the surreal, with a dreamlike quality that sometimes feels like a fever dream. The pacing is uneven, shifting from languid moments to bursts of odd energy, which keeps you guessing. The themes explore desire and taboo, presenting a rather provocative atmosphere. What’s striking are the practical effects, at times charming in their low-budget execution, where you can almost see the creativity behind each scene. The performances are varied, some actors really lean into the eccentricity, which adds to the peculiar vibe. It’s definitely not mainstream, making it a unique piece for a collector who appreciates the bizarre.

Forbidden Cherries has a niche appeal among collectors, primarily due to its obscurity and the mystery surrounding its production. Finding it on VHS or any physical format can be a bit of a hunt, as copies aren't exactly abundant, which adds to its allure. It’s one of those films you stumble upon and wonder how it slipped through the cracks, making it an interesting talking point among fellow enthusiasts.
