Rambling Notes

About This Movie

So, 'Rambling Notes' is this intriguing piece from '77 that feels like a stream of consciousness. The whole thing has a laid-back, almost meandering vibe, with a guy just reflecting on his life while cruising in a French car. The woman, experiencing NYC for the first time, adds this layer of excitement and naivety that contrasts beautifully with the static reflections of the car. It's filmed at 18fps, which gives it this slightly dreamlike quality—like you’re peeking into a diary instead of watching a traditional narrative. You really get a sense of place, especially with Chicago as a backdrop. It’s not your typical flick, definitely has a unique pacing.

'Rambling Notes' is quite a rare find, given its obscurity and the elusive nature of its director. As a 1977 film, it has limited distribution, which makes original prints a treasure for collectors. Over the years, it’s garnered interest for its unconventional storytelling and atmospheric qualities. Many collectors appreciate its unique aesthetic, especially the choice of frame rate that enhances its meditative tone, making it a curious piece in any film library.
