Raymond Rohauer Presents "The Sneeze"

About This Movie

So 'The Sneeze' is this quirky little comedy from 1970 that throws shade at Raymond Rohauer, a character in the film world for his eccentric claims of ownership over films. The tone is light but laced with a satirical bite, poking fun at film preservation and the absurdities of copyright obsession. The pacing is breezy, which works really well for its comedic nature. It's got a distinct atmosphere, combining a playful spirit with a sprinkle of surrealism, which keeps you guessing. The performances, though not necessarily star-studded, have a charm that suits the parody—definitely not what you’d call traditional comedy. The practical effects are simple yet effective, adding to the overall offbeat quality of the film.

'The Sneeze' has had a bit of a mixed journey in terms of availability. It’s not something you find floating around in typical collections, making it somewhat rare. There’s a certain niche appeal due to its parody of Rohauer, which intrigues a lot of collectors who appreciate the backstory and the film's unique tone. It's one of those films that, if you come across it, sparks a lot of conversation among those who understand its context in film history.
