Never

About This Movie

Never (1973) is a peculiar blend of whimsy and dark undertones, centered around a little girl whose unyielding love for sheep leads her down an unexpected path. The pacing feels almost dreamlike, allowing the viewer to linger in eerie moments where innocence meets the unsettling. A butcher, acting as a twisted fairy godfather, brings her dream to life in a way that’s both enchanting and deeply unsettling. The practical effects, though limited by the era, manage to evoke a sense of magic, juxtaposed with the stark reality of the butcher's world. It's this haunting contrast that makes the film distinctive, leaving a lingering sense of both wonder and discomfort long after the credits roll.

This film has a niche following among collectors, often overlooked due to its ambiguous origins and the absence of a recognizable director. Its scarcity in physical formats adds to the intrigue, with only a handful of copies reportedly circulating among dedicated enthusiasts. The thematic depth, combined with its haunting atmosphere, makes it a unique piece for any serious collection, appealing to those interested in the obscure and thought-provoking sides of cinema.
