Prisoners (Skin Ritz)

About This Movie

So, 'Prisoners (Skin Ritz)' is this fascinating piece from 1984 that, despite its obscurity, carries an intriguing backstory. It’s tied to that famous Apple commercial directed by Ridley Scott, which aimed to unveil the Macintosh. The atmosphere is a blend of tension and surrealism, almost like a dream you can’t quite remember but feel deeply. The pacing is unique, a bit disjointed, but it captures the anxiety of the time around technology's rapid evolution. The performances are raw and intense, leaving you with a sense of unease that lingers. It’s not your conventional narrative, which makes it distinctive in a landscape littered with formulaic storytelling.

Finding 'Prisoners (Skin Ritz)' on physical media is quite the treasure hunt; it hasn't been widely distributed over the years. Most collectors might only have seen it through obscure screenings or online whispers. Its scarcity has led to a small but dedicated following, as it draws interest not just for its content but for the context of its creation. The connection to the legendary Ridley Scott and the Apple commercial gives it an additional layer that collectors find intriguing.
