So, this film, "Gertrude Stein Would Have Liked to Have Seen Chaplin in a Film Where He Would Have Nothing Other to Do Than Walk on the Street and Then Go Around a Corner, and Then Around the Next Corner, etc. From Corner to Corner," is pretty fascinating. It’s like a meditative exploration of movement, really. The pacing is slow, almost hypnotic, and it gives off this experimental vibe that echoes Stein's literary style. You can feel the weight of Chaplin's influence here, even though he’s not in it. There's no flashy effects, just pure simplicity—like walking itself. It’s a curiosity piece that showcases a unique interplay between art and film, making it stand out in the landscape of late 70s cinema.
This film has a very niche appeal, often sought after by collectors interested in experimental cinema and the intersection of literary and filmic concepts. It hasn't seen widespread release in various formats, making original prints somewhat rare. As for collector interest, it tends to attract those who appreciate the unique vision behind it rather than mainstream cinematic achievements.
