How Are You, Well?

About This Movie

How Are You, Well? is one of those curious 1960s comedies that dances on the edge of social commentary and absurdity. With its fragmented storytelling, it captures a bizarre snapshot of human nature—flamboyant fans drowning their sorrows in booze, a suburban tragedy over a chicken, and delusions of divinity through a daughter’s performance. The pacing is a bit uneven, which adds to its charm, while the practical effects are minimal, relying instead on the raw performances of the cast to convey the dark humor. It's a film that feels like a fever dream, reflecting the chaos of its time and leaving viewers with questions more than answers.

This film has a somewhat elusive presence in collector circles, often overshadowed by more mainstream comedies of its era. On physical media, it’s rare to find, especially in good condition, leading to a niche but dedicated interest amongst collectors who appreciate the film's offbeat humor and social critique. As a result, it tends to command attention at auctions and swap meets, attracting those who enjoy the oddities of 1960s cinema.
