Roger the Dodger

About This Movie

So, 'Roger the Dodger' from 1974 is this raw documentary that digs into the deep sense of isolation folks feel in big urban landscapes. It’s centered around this one guy – he’s got a story that’s both personal and political, sharing his frustrations about local governance while being an outspoken Marxist. The pacing feels leisurely, almost contemplative, as you linger on his thoughts and emotions. It’s not flashy, but that’s part of its charm; it’s all about the atmosphere. You get a real sense of his discontent and the environment around him. There's something very real and poignant about the way he articulates his struggles, capturing a moment in time that feels strangely relevant even today.

This title is somewhat elusive in the collector's market, with not many known releases over the years, which makes it a real curiosity. It’s primarily circulated in VHS formats, and those copies have become increasingly rare, adding to its desirability. The documentary's distinct voice and viewpoint resonate with collectors interested in political themes and social commentary, making it a unique piece in any documentary collection.
