Purity and After

About This Movie

So, 'Purity and After' is this intriguing double feature from 1978, though the director remains a bit of a mystery, which adds to its allure. The first film explores this psychological quest for purity—more about the journey in one’s mind than a straightforward narrative. There's a certain dreamlike quality, almost fragmented, that really pulls you in. The second short feels like a direct response, almost a bouncing back of thoughts, leaving you with more questions than answers. It's that kind of cerebral storytelling that makes you think. If you appreciate layered themes and unique pacing, this is one of those films that sticks with you, echoing long after viewing.

'Purity and After' is a rare find, especially given its limited release and the obscurity surrounding its director. In collector circles, there’s a certain fascination with its conceptual approach and the atmosphere it creates. Formats like VHS and DVD have circulated, but pristine copies are becoming increasingly scarce, fueling interest among film enthusiasts who appreciate the avant-garde nature of this work.
