Lincoln Logs for Jesus

About This Movie

So, 'Lincoln Logs for Jesus' is one of those oddities that really stands out from the documentary landscape of the late '70s. It’s like Turkle took a sledgehammer to his own style, serving up this frenetic collage of images and ideas that feel as much ritualistic as they do chaotic. The pacing is relentless, with rapid cuts and a kind of Cubist disorientation that makes you question not just what you’re seeing but how you’re seeing it. It’s a wild trip through consumerism and faith, with some practical effects that add to the overall offbeat vibe. Definitely distinctive, even if I can’t quite put my finger on why it lingers in the mind after the credits roll.

This film has seen limited releases, primarily on obscure formats, making it somewhat of a treasure for collectors who appreciate unusual documentaries. Its scarcity adds to its allure, and the unique style leaves many wondering about its history. It’s one of those pieces that sparks conversations among collectors about its artistic intent and cultural commentary.
