My Lover Is So Crazy

About This Movie

So, 'My Lover Is So Crazy' from 1975, it’s interesting, to say the least. You've got this Syrian inventor, Ziad Jamal, who’s down on his luck and grappling with unrequited love. The atmosphere is heavy with the weight of his failures, but there's this quirky twist when he decides to aid the police with a robbery case. It feels like a blend of desperation and dark humor, with some moments that really stand out—like his interactions with the police and the gang. I wouldn’t say it’s a polished film, but that adds to its charm, you know? The pacing can be a bit uneven at times, which might throw off some viewers, but it’s that roughness that gives it character. Definitely a unique entry worth discussing among collectors.

This title is quite elusive, with very few known formats released—mostly on obscure VHS tapes. There’s definitely a niche appeal for collectors, particularly those interested in international cinema or films that showcase a blend of comedy and drama from the 70s. As far as rarity goes, finding a good-quality copy is quite the hunt, and this film tends to pop up in discussions among collectors who appreciate its distinct storytelling and cultural nuances.
