La choucroute is one of those curious TV movies from the late '60s that feels like a lost gem. The atmosphere is thick with a whimsical fantasy vibe, blended with a sense of mystery that keeps you guessing. It has that slow, almost dreamlike pacing typical of the era, where every scene feels carefully crafted, yet there’s a rawness to it that adds intrigue. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking by today's standards, have a charm—there's something refreshing about seeing tangible creations rather than all CGI. The performances are earnest, drawing you into this peculiar world. It’s distinctive for its blend of the surreal and the mundane, almost like a slice of life dipped in fantasy, leaving you to ponder its meanings long after it ends.
La choucroute is relatively obscure, with limited availability across formats. It was released primarily as a TV movie, so finding a physical copy can be a challenge. Collector interest seems to be growing, especially among enthusiasts of niche, vintage fantasy films from this period. Its uniqueness and the mystique surrounding its director—still unknown—add to its allure in collector circles.
