Pause

About This Movie

So, 'Pause' is this odd little film from '87 that kinda defies easy categorization. It’s got this lo-fi, raw vibe that’s great for collectors who appreciate the underground aesthetic. The pacing feels deliberately disjointed, which adds to the off-kilter experience. The central theme, about the often-ignored realities of women’s experiences, is presented with a mix of dark humor and stark honesty. Performances? They can be a bit hit or miss, but that’s part of its charm. And man, the practical effects have a gritty quality that really makes you appreciate the era. It's not your typical narrative, and that’s what sets it apart – a curiosity for sure.

This film has seen limited release formats over the years, making it a bit of a rarity among collectors. Its VHS copies are especially sought after for their distinct cover art and the overall underground vibe of the era. While it may not have had a wide audience initially, it has gained a niche following that appreciates its unique take on women's themes and the raw aesthetic of the 80s underground cinema scene.
