I Loved an Armchair

About This Movie

I Loved an Armchair is a quirky comedy that really captures the absurdity of desperation. The premise revolves around Grigoris, who's on a wild treasure hunt after learning his late aunt's jewels are hidden in one of four armchairs he sold ages ago. The pacing is a bit erratic but that kind of adds to its charm, as he races against time to track down these chairs, now scattered among various owners. The performances carry a light-hearted yet frantic tone, and it’s interesting how the film explores themes of nostalgia and attachment to inanimate objects. The practical effects are minimal but effective, making it feel grounded despite its zany storyline.

This film has a bit of a cult following among collectors, though it's not the easiest to find on physical media. The original VHS release is particularly scarce, and it seems that not many have made it to DVD or Blu-ray, which adds to its allure for those who appreciate offbeat cinema. Keep an eye on online auctions and niche film festivals for rare screenings or copies, as this title often flies under the radar.
