Nooner

About This Movie

Nooner is a curious blend of workplace comedy and surrealism, where a new hire at a contraceptive firm discovers an odd, almost magical connection between the office dynamics and sexual politics. The atmosphere is laced with a kind of dry humor, and the pacing, while sometimes meandering, allows for moments of unexpected insight into the absurdities of corporate life. The practical effects are minimal, but they serve the film's quirky narrative well, which is distinctive for its exploration of sexuality and power in such a mundane setting. Performances vary, but they often lean into the bizarre, making the whole experience feel like a slice of oddity from the '80s that’s hard to pin down.

Nooner has a bit of a niche following among collectors, largely due to its unusual premise and offbeat humor. It was released on VHS, but finding a clean copy can be a challenge as it didn’t see widespread distribution. The film's scarcity has piqued interest among those who appreciate the oddities of '80s cinema, making it a noteworthy piece for any collector looking to delve into more obscure titles from that era.
