Loggerheads

About This Movie

Loggerheads is quite the odd duck. It presents itself as a documentary comedic take on a sensitive subject—Hitler's rise—while weaving in the story of two brothers that could not be more different. One's a magician wrapped up in his Nazi beliefs, and the other's an anarchist fiercely opposed to the regime. The tone is a mix of absurdity and dark humor, which might not land for everyone, but it’s definitely distinctive. The pacing feels a bit off-kilter at times, adding to that uneasy atmosphere. The performances are raw, almost theatrical, which adds a layer of complexity to how the characters interact with their absurd reality. It's a film that sits uncomfortably but lingers in your mind long after.

Loggerheads has had a bit of a quiet existence in collector circles, with very few releases over the years. Originally released in limited formats, it seems to be undervalued due to its controversial themes and unconventional structure. As a result, finding a pristine copy is becoming a challenge, and interest is slowly growing among collectors who appreciate its unique narrative style and historical context. Definitely one to keep an eye on if you dig films that push boundaries.
