I Am Burning!

About This Movie

I Am Burning! (Ja gorę!) is this quirky little TV movie that dances on the edges of comedy and fantasy, wrapped in a gothic aesthetic that feels both playful and eerie. The story of a nobleman trying to breathe life into a dilapidated castle, only to be interrupted by the ghost of its former inhabitant, creates a weirdly charming atmosphere. It’s got this odd pacing—drawing you in slowly, then hitting you with these surreal moments. The practical effects are surprisingly effective for its time, adding a tangible layer to the ghostly shenanigans. It’s a parody that doesn’t take itself too seriously, which makes it stand apart in the landscape of late 60s cinema. Definitely a conversation starter in any collector's circle.

I Am Burning! remains a bit of a rarity among collectors, primarily due to its TV movie origins and the obscurity of its director. It appeared on various formats over the years, but finding a good quality print can be challenging. Interest is growing, especially among fans of niche cinema and those who appreciate the oddities of the late 60s television landscape, making it an intriguing piece for anyone diving into underappreciated gems.
