Records 37

About This Movie

Records 37 has this unique, almost dreamlike quality that's hard to pin down. The pacing feels a bit languid, which might throw some viewers off, but it adds a certain weight to the atmosphere. It’s shot in a style that's reminiscent of some experimental shorts of the time—real innovative in its use of practical effects, though sometimes they’re a bit hit-or-miss. The performances, while not always polished, have a raw energy that really draws you in. There’s a sense of experimentation in how the narrative unfolds, and that alone sets it apart from other films from the same era. You can feel the spirit of the '30s pushing against the boundaries of storytelling here.

Records 37 is somewhat elusive in the collector’s market, with very few known prints still in circulation. The lack of a known director or clear genre adds to its mystique, making it a curiosity for those who enjoy early experimental cinema. As a result, its rarity has piqued interest among collectors who appreciate films that challenge conventional narrative structures.
