So, RARE-TSU from 1981 is kind of an enigma, right? The tone feels like they were aiming for something avant-garde, but it’s also super low-key with a hint of something eerie lurking beneath. The pacing is a bit uneven, which gives it a unique rhythm that’s hard to pin down; it’s almost like they were experimenting with viewer patience. I’d say there’s a tangible atmosphere that lingers, and while the performances aren’t necessarily standouts, they do contribute to the film’s overall oddity. What really strikes me is the practical effects—they're not polished but have this raw charm that gives the film character. Overall, it’s distinctive in its own quiet way, and that makes it intriguing for a collector.
Finding RARE-TSU on physical media can be quite a challenge; it seems like copies are scarce, which definitely adds to its appeal among collectors. The film didn’t get much attention upon release, and as a result, it hasn’t been widely distributed. There may be a few VHS tapes floating around, but good luck finding anything else. Its obscure nature draws a certain crowd, making it a niche addition for those who appreciate the quirks of lesser-known cinema.
