Interval

About This Movie

Interval is an interesting piece from '73, weaving a poignant tale of an older woman's fragile emotional state amid the vibrant backdrop of Mexico's Yucatan peninsula. The film's pacing feels deliberate, almost languid, allowing the viewer to savor the ebb and flow of her ill-fated romance with a younger artist. There's a certain rawness in the performances that feels genuine, offering a glimpse into the complexities of love and desire across age gaps. The cinematography captures the lush, almost dreamlike quality of the landscape, enhancing the sense of longing and escape that permeates the narrative. It's not your typical romance; it dives into the nuances of vulnerability and the bittersweet nature of fleeting connections.

Interval seems to fly under the radar for collectors, with its distribution history being rather limited. I’ve seen it pop up occasionally in specialized collections or at niche film festivals, but finding a good quality print can be a challenge. Interest has been growing, especially among those who appreciate the more obscure romance films from that era, making it a curious addition for collectors focused on unique narratives and character-driven stories.
