Monkeys in the Attic

About This Movie

So, 'Monkeys in the Attic' is this fascinating slice-of-life drama from '74 that dives into the complexities of human relationships. You’ve got two artsy couples in a townhouse, and man, the psychological games they play are just wild. The pacing is a little languid, which fits the vibe—like you're drifting through a lazy afternoon. What’s really interesting is how it captures the essence of that era's counterculture, with a hint of absurdity, especially in the interactions with the pizza delivery guy. The performances feel genuine, raw even, making the head games resonate on a level that’s both unsettling and compelling. Definitely a unique piece in the realm of 70s indie cinema.

'Monkeys in the Attic' is somewhat of a hidden gem, often overlooked in discussions about 70s cinema. This film has had a limited release history, making it a bit of a rarity among collectors, especially in good condition. It’s occasionally popped up in various indie film collections, but you won’t often find it on mainstream lists, which adds to its intrigue for those looking to expand their catalog with something a little offbeat and thought-provoking.
