Love and So Forth

About This Movie

So, 'Love and So Forth'... it's got this really raw vibe, right? Set against the backdrop of 1968 Munich, the film captures that tension of the time—students rebelling, the state fighting back, all while our leads navigate their own lives. Robbie's this earnest chemistry student, and Nancy, the Irish cello player, their chemistry feels so authentic, you know? It’s not just about romance; it’s about how love can exist in tumultuous times. The pacing has this languid feel, almost reflecting the uncertainty of the characters. And while the director is somewhat of a mystery, the visual style has a documentary-like quality that adds to the film’s distinctiveness. It's definitely one of those hidden gems that distills the spirit of an era through intimate personal stories.

This film is quite elusive in terms of format; it's been released on a few VHS editions but not much since. Original prints are rare, which makes it a fascinating item for collectors. Interest has been growing, particularly among those who appreciate the countercultural movements of the late '60s, as this film encapsulates that spirit through its characters' struggles and desires.
