Partner

About This Movie

So, Partner from 1968. It's this curious drama that captures a young man's existential journey after encountering his doppelgänger. The film has this surreal tone, almost dreamlike, really. Pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to soak in the atmosphere. It explores themes of ambition, identity, and the sometimes blurry lines between self and other. The practical effects are interesting, if not a bit dated, but they lend an authenticity to the experience. Performances, especially from the lead, have a raw quality that suits the film's introspective vibe. It’s definitely a unique watch, stands out in a sea of more conventional narratives.

Partner has had a bit of a shaky release history, with various formats popping up over the years but none widely available. It's not the easiest to find, which piques collector interest a bit more. The scarcity of decent prints adds to its allure, especially for those who appreciate lesser-known titles that offer something different in tone and theme.
