Money

About This Movie

So, 'Money' (1996) is this intriguing piece that really plays with format and structure. It's crafted by Coleen Fitzgibbon and Cara Perlman, and what’s interesting is how it transitions from Hi8 to digital. The sound is looped every three minutes, which gives it this unique rhythmic feel, almost hypnotic in a way. The pacing feels experimental, like it’s meandering through its themes of value and currency in a visual sense, but it’s not just about the money – it dives into the ideas of perception and worth. The practical effects are minimal, yet effective, and the performances have this raw quality that feels very authentic. It stands out, that’s for sure, even if it doesn't fit neatly into any genre box.

'Money' has a distinct format history, transitioning from Hi8 to digital, which adds to its experimental nature. This film’s scarcity makes it a point of interest among collectors, especially those who appreciate works that blur the lines of traditional filmmaking. It’s not overly common in collector circles, so for those seeking unique pieces that challenge norms and provoke thought, this one certainly warrants a closer look.
