About This Movie

So, 'Lightning' from 1967 is one of those peculiar entries that really stirs curiosity. The film has this raw, almost experimental vibe that feels like a snapshot of a different era. There's an ambiance in the pacing that meanders, almost like it's inviting you to explore its world at your own leisure. The themes, while not overtly deep, tap into the zeitgeist of the late '60s—rebellion, freedom, and maybe a hint of mysticism. The practical effects have a charming, DIY quality that’s endearing, and the performances—though not polished—carry a sincerity that resonates. It's distinctive in how it captures a sense of place and time, almost like a forgotten dream.

Finding 'Lightning' can be a bit of a treasure hunt as it's not widely circulated. It was released in a few formats over the years, but the original prints are particularly scarce. Collectors often discuss its unique aesthetic and how it fits into the late '60s cinematic landscape. There's definitely a niche interest in this film, especially among those who appreciate the era's experimental works.
