Orange

About This Movie

So, 'Orange' from 1968 is this odd little piece where an orange becomes the unlikely protagonist. It’s almost like a silent film with this whimsical, yet slightly surreal vibe. The pacing feels both languid and frenetic at times as the orange rolls through town, almost taunting the boy chasing it. You can’t help but get drawn into this bizarre chase; it’s like the orange has a personality of its own. The practical effects are simple but effective, giving it a unique charm. The themes of desire and pursuit are evident, but it’s really the atmosphere that sticks with you—the colors, the movements, and the sheer absurdity. Definitely a conversation starter in any collection.

'Orange' has had a bit of a cult following among collectors, especially due to its unconventional narrative and visual style. Its original prints are rare, and there have been few releases over the years, making it a point of interest for those who appreciate offbeat cinema. While it may not be widely recognized, it certainly holds a special place for those who enjoy the quirkiness of late 60s experimental films.
