Pre-Production

About This Movie

So, 'Pre-Production' from 1973 is this intriguing piece that plays around with the essence of cinema itself. You’ve got these two blank screens, which is kind of a bold choice, right? The four performers, they're diving into texts that span the history of film – think of it like a literary collage where the readings resemble a musical quartet. It's all about how film is made, how stories are told, and what the medium means. The atmosphere is almost meditative, yet there's a tension in the pacing. It stands out for its experimental approach and makes you ponder the very fabric of cinematic storytelling.

This film is somewhat elusive, as much about its presentation as the content itself. It's rare to find in good condition, and collectors often look for screenings or archival releases to capture its unique tone. The scarcity adds to its intrigue, appealing to those interested in the experimental edge of cinema history.
