I Am Antar

About This Movie

I Am Antar is an intriguing blend of adventure and comedy from 1966 that offers a unique narrative twist. The premise revolves around a psychiatrist who takes quite a dark turn, using hypnosis to rob his female patients. It has this oddball charm, with a pacing that keeps things bouncing along while maintaining a certain tension. The performances are a bit uneven, but that's part of its quirkiness—there's something almost surreal in how the characters navigate the absurdity of their situations. It’s not your standard fare, which makes it stand out in a sea of more conventional films from that era.

I Am Antar is quite elusive when it comes to finding in decent condition; it has not seen many re-releases or restorations over the years. Most collectors note that the earlier formats, particularly the VHS editions, are the most common but come with varying quality. There’s a solid niche interest in this title, especially among those who appreciate offbeat comedies from the '60s, making it a fascinating addition for serious collectors.
