High Rolling

About This Movie

High Rolling is a curious blend of comedy and crime that captures the carefree spirit of the 70s. The film follows two carnival workers who are all about seeking thrills, and it doesn't shy away from the era's laid-back vibe, with its hedonistic adventures and colorful characters. The pacing is a bit erratic, which kind of mirrors the chaotic life they lead. It's interesting how it tackles themes like escapism, with a noticeable dose of absurdity and charm. The performances are fun and give it a raw, almost improvisational feel, particularly with the interactions between the leads and the vibrant nightclub dancers they encounter. Not a polished gem, but definitely a piece of that wild cinematic era.

High Rolling has had a bit of a mixed bag in terms of formats available; while it was released on VHS, good quality prints are becoming scarcer, which kind of adds to the collector appeal. Despite its oddities, there’s a niche interest for this title among those who appreciate offbeat 70s cinema. It may not be at the forefront of everyone's collection, but it certainly sparks discussion among those who stumble across it.
