Modern Love

About This Movie

Modern Love (1978) is this oddball gem that meanders through the chaotic landscape of romantic entanglements. You’ve got Robin, a Xerox operator, caught in the web of a charming yet sleazy Lamont Del Monte, and meanwhile, there's this bizarre subplot with Heidi and Pierre, who can’t even communicate. It’s a quirky exploration of love’s misfires and the absurdity of human connection. The performances feel raw, almost like they’re plucked from real life, and there's something about the pacing that makes it feel both languid and urgent at the same time. It’s not every day you see a film tackle love from such a tangled angle, and that unique perspective gives it an edge—a little rough around the edges, but definitely distinctive.

Modern Love is a bit of a rarity in the collector's world, released on limited formats with not much in the way of reprints. It didn't have a massive distribution, which adds to its elusive nature and keeps the interest alive among collectors who appreciate its unconventional take on romantic narratives. The video quality can vary significantly between editions, making condition an important factor for those looking to add it to their collection.
