Make Love Not War

About This Movie

So, Make Love Not War, also known as Brown Rice, really dives deep into the experimental realm. It’s got this wild vibe, using three projectors to create a sort of visual symphony that plays with perception in ways you don’t see every day. The film's structure is almost a collage, where images overlap and shift, which can be mesmerizing if you're into avant-garde stuff. The pacing's a bit erratic, but that's part of its charm. You really feel the experimental ethos of the era, with a focus on peace and love that contrasts sharply with the visuals. It’s definitely one of those films that challenges the viewer, but there’s something undeniably engaging about its presentation.

This film has had a fraught history when it comes to distribution, which makes it a bit of a rarity in collector circles. Formats have included various home video releases, but the availability has fluctuated over the years. It's definitely one that some collectors seek out, especially those with a taste for the avant-garde and experimental cinema of the 60s. You might find a few copies floating around at specialty shops or film festivals, but be prepared for its elusive nature.
