Parallel-O-Gasm

About This Movie

Parallel-O-Gasm is this curious exploration of perspective, bringing together the P.O.V. format in a way that flips the script on traditional cinematic norms. The pacing has this hypnotic rhythm, pulling you in and making you question what you're seeing. It has a distinct atmosphere, almost dreamlike at times, which sets it apart from more conventional fare. There's something refreshing in the way it toys with duality, giving you both sides of the coin while keeping it all remarkably intimate. The performances, though not widely recognized, carry a certain rawness that fits the film's experimental nature perfectly. It’s not the easiest watch, but that’s what makes it intriguing in a collection.

This film is not widely circulated and copies can be elusive, which certainly boosts its appeal among collectors. Format-wise, it has some variations, with a few VHS releases and limited DVD editions floating around. The scarcity and unconventional approach to its subject matter create a niche interest, and I've noticed discussions around its merits in collecting circles have only intensified as its availability dwindles.
