Propaganda

About This Movie

So, there's this film, "Propaganda" from 1973, which is just really haunting in its execution. The whole vibe is unsettling, as we follow this guy who gets trapped not just in front of a TV but actually sucked into it, where a Tory political broadcast just spins around him. It’s got this bizarre, almost surreal quality – like something out of a dream or nightmare. The pacing feels intentional, drawing you deeper into that disorienting space, and the practical effects? They add to the direct impact. The performances, though minimal, have a rawness that captures the absurdity of the media's grip. It's definitely a distinctive piece that raises questions about consumption and control.

Propaganda has quite a curious position in collector circles, as it seems to have slipped under the radar for many. Originally released on obscure formats, it’s become a bit of a grail for those interested in avant-garde cinema of the 70s. There are rumors about limited screenings and a handful of prints floating around, making it a niche interest but one that definitely intrigues those who appreciate the intersection of politics and media in film history.
