Mass, or Monument for a Capitalist Society

About This Movie

Mass, or Monument for a Capitalist Society is one of those films that feels more like an experience than a traditional narrative. It’s a collage of urban life in London, where the mundane and the surreal blur together through techniques like double exposure and solarization. The pacing is deliberately disjointed, creating an atmosphere that's both unsettling and mesmerizing. It’s not about clear storytelling but rather evokes feelings and thoughts about society, capitalism, and the human condition. The visuals are striking - a kind of gritty beauty that sticks with you. You can tell it comes from a specific time and place, and that adds to its charm.

This film is a bit of a hidden gem for collectors, particularly those interested in experimental cinema from the 1970s. Its limited availability on physical formats adds to the allure, with only a few archival releases making it out into the wild. Since the director is not widely known, it often slips under the radar, but it presents a fascinating glance into the avant-garde scene of that era, making it a curious find for dedicated collectors.
