Normal Love

About This Movie

Normal Love is a wild ride, a kaleidoscopic explosion of color and camp that really shows off Jack Smith's avant-garde style. It's this strange and beautiful homage to B-movies, filled with oddball performances and a dreamlike atmosphere. The pacing is erratic, which adds to its charm, pulling you into a world that feels both absurd and oddly profound. The practical effects are all over the place, but that just adds to the raw, unfiltered energy of underground cinema from that time. You can feel Smith's influence on the performance art scene, and it's a showcase of the playful yet pointed critique of conventional narratives. Definitely a gem for those who appreciate the quirky side of film history.

Normal Love has seen limited format releases over the years, making original prints quite scarce and highly sought after among collectors. The film’s status as a significant piece of underground cinema history adds to its allure, with many enthusiasts seeking out rare screenings or unique editions. It’s a fascinating exploration of camp that continues to pique the interest of cinephiles, especially those drawn to the experimental art scene of the 1960s.
