Raisin Bran Squish

About This Movie

Raisin Bran Squish is this intriguing mockumentary that feels like a blend of Jonas Mekas' spontaneous style and Chris Marker's contemplative eye. It's all about the queer coming-out tale, but flips the script by poking fun at how often those narratives come from cis perspectives. The pacing is deliberately uneven, which mirrors the chaos of identity exploration. What really stands out are the performances; they're raw and often uncomfortable yet strikingly honest. The practical effects, though minimal, add a surreal layer that makes you question what's real and what’s just a narrative device. It’s part of The Squish Trilogy, so there's a whole vibe you can dive into if you appreciate layered storytelling like this.

Raisin Bran Squish has had a bit of a murky release history, with various formats popping up, but it's rare to find in good condition. Collector interest is growing, especially among those who appreciate its unique take on queer narratives and the mockumentary style. The scarcity of information about the director only adds to its mystique, making it a conversation starter in any collection.
