New Love

About This Movie

New Love (1968) offers a vivid glimpse into the youth culture of the late sixties, particularly the hippie scene in Chile. The film’s non-linear storytelling creates a dreamlike atmosphere, reflecting the spontaneity and free-spiritedness of the era. The pacing can feel disjointed at times, almost like a collage of snapshots, which adds to its charm. Performances are raw and authentic, channeling the essence of youthful rebellion and the search for love amidst societal changes. It’s distinctive not just for its subject matter but for the way it captures a fleeting moment in history through its experimental style and visual language.

New Love has seen limited releases over the years, with original prints becoming increasingly rare. Collector interest fluctuates, but those who appreciate the unique portrayal of youth culture and experimentation in cinema tend to seek it out. The film exists in a few formats, but finding a well-preserved copy is quite a challenge, adding to its allure among serious film collectors.
