Greetings

About This Movie

Greetings (1968) captures a unique slice of 60s New York, blending comedy with a certain existential angst. The film features three friends who engage in conversations that are both candid and humorous as they navigate the weighty issues of dodging the draft, reflecting on JFK's assassination, and exploring the emerging world of computer dating. It's got this loose, almost improvisational feel that lends to its charm, with performances that feel genuine and relatable. The atmosphere is distinctly of its time, capturing a youthful rebellion, and the pacing meanders in a way that feels authentic rather than forced. It's a snapshot of a turbulent era, anchored by dialogue that remains sharp and relevant even today.

Finding Greetings in its original format can be a challenge; it’s not as widely circulated as other films from the era, which adds to its intrigue. It’s been released on various home media formats, but the early prints are particularly sought after by collectors. The film’s unique commentary on the social issues of its time, combined with its casual, almost documentary-like style, makes it a noteworthy piece for anyone interested in the counterculture of the late 60s.
