Marilyn - Kleine Spalten, Süsse Lippen

About This Movie

So, Marilyn - Kleine Spalten, Süsse Lippen, which translates to Marilyn - Small Gaps, Sweet Lips, is quite the curiosity. There's this raw, unrefined quality to it that really draws you in, almost like a hidden gem of its time. The pacing can be uneven, which some might find jarring, but I think it adds to that honest, almost experimental vibe. The performances have this palpable intensity, as if the actors were fully immersed in their characters’ emotional landscapes. Visually, the practical effects stand out, evoking a certain tangible reality that’s often lost in digital works today. It’s one of those films that doesn’t fit neatly into genres but rather dances around themes of intimacy and fragility.

This film has had a somewhat obscure release history, making it a bit of a rarity in collector circles. Various formats exist, but finding a decent condition copy can be a challenge. Interest in it has grown over the years, especially among those who appreciate underground and avant-garde cinema from the 80s. Definitely worth keeping an eye out for during your hunts.
