Ivy Blues

About This Movie

Ivy Blues is a curious little film that seems to straddle a few genres while focusing on the lives of rich kids in the summer sun. The whole vibe feels like a mix of youthful recklessness and a strange exploration of identity. It delves into themes that some might find provocative, all wrapped in a somewhat amateurish production that adds to its charm. The performances vary, but there's a certain earnestness in how they navigate their summer studies in 'man sex.' It’s not polished, and that rough-around-the-edges feel sort of gives it character, making it standout from standard coming-of-age flicks.

Ivy Blues is a bit of a rarity, not widely circulated in collector circles. It was released in a limited format, which makes original copies sought after by those interested in obscure 80s cinema. The film’s unique exploration of its themes coupled with its distinctive style certainly attracts a niche audience, contributing to its collectible status. Overall, it has become somewhat of a hidden gem for those who appreciate the less commercial side of 80s filmmaking.
