Is That Your Body, Boy

About This Movie

Is That Your Body, Boy is an interesting slice of 70s drama. It captures this tense atmosphere, especially with that PE teacher who pushes boundaries—it's not your standard feel-good sports flick, that’s for sure. The pacing feels almost off-kilter at times, which adds to this unsettling tone that lingers. There's a rawness in the performances that really ground it; you can feel the characters wrestling with their own moral dilemmas. It’s not flashy, but there are practical effects that serve the narrative well, making it distinctive in its own right. This film explores themes of control and discipline, which adds layers that make it worth discussing among collectors.

This film is a rare find, with very few copies circulating among collectors—it seems like every year one pops up at auction, but they often go for quite a bit. The obscure director hasn’t made much of a mark, which adds to the allure. If you come across an original print, it’s worth your time to grab it; there’s this ongoing interest in films that challenge norms, and this one fits the bill.
