I Want This Man

About This Movie

I Want This Man is a fascinating slice of early '70s cinema that explores themes of gender roles and societal expectations through the lens of a woman's audacious desire to propose to a man. The pacing feels leisurely, allowing for introspective moments that let the characters breathe. The dialogue has a natural rhythm, sometimes disjointed, but it captures the awkwardness of the era’s evolving relationships. The performances, while not always polished, carry a certain rawness that draws you into the emotional landscape. It’s not every day you find a film that so directly tackles the idea of a woman taking the initiative in romance, making this a distinctive entry worth pondering over.

I Want This Man has had a limited release history, making original prints somewhat rare. As a drama that directly addresses gender dynamics, it garners interest from collectors who appreciate films that challenge societal norms. The scarcity of this title in good condition adds to its allure, especially for those looking to fill gaps in their exploration of 1970s cinema.
