Private Collection

About This Movie

So, 'Private Collection' is this intriguing anthology from 1980, right? Six short films, each revealing the quirks and idiosyncrasies of the creators involved. The tone varies, some pieces are more surreal while others touch on gritty realism, all wrapped in a sort of dreamy atmosphere. The pacing is a bit uneven, which might not sit well with everyone, but it really adds to the feeling of private exploration. Practical effects pop up in surprising ways, and the performances have this raw edge that feels very personal. It’s definitely a mixed bag, but that's part of its charm, I guess. You see genuine creativity and vulnerability throughout. It’s distinctive in how it plays with the concept of personal obsession in film.

This anthology film hasn't been widely circulated since its release, making it somewhat of a rarity for collectors. The home video formats are scarce, with only a few VHS copies floating around. Interest in this title seems to wax and wane, depending on the collector's appreciation for experimental short films and underground cinema. If you're into exploring lesser-known works that delve into the psyche of their creators, it might be worth your time.
