Plastic Surgery

About This Movie

So there's this film, Plastic Surgery, from 1975, where the director remains a mystery, which just adds to its allure. It’s this bizarre exploration, right? The cutting and suturing parallel to how we reconstruct narratives in film—pretty fascinating stuff. The pacing feels a bit dreamlike, with optical printing techniques that create this surreal flow. You get this sense of the mind wandering through societal anxieties, all while the visuals keep you engaged in a trance-like state. It's not your usual narrative structure, but that gives it a distinctive edge, especially if you're into experimental cinema. Really a unique piece that speaks to the nature of art and identity.

Plastic Surgery has a rather elusive presence in the collector community, with its obscure roots making any prints highly sought after. Various formats have circulated over the years, but finding a quality version can be tricky. Its rarity adds an edge for collectors, particularly those drawn to experimental films and the 70s underground scene.
