Split Ends, I Feel Wonderful

About This Movie

Split Ends, I Feel Wonderful is a fascinating dive into the 1970s, using a collage of found footage that showcases the era's hairstyles and fashion trends. It's a bit unconventional, balancing between an art piece and a nostalgic trip, almost like a visual mixtape. The pacing feels dreamy, drifting from one clip to another, drawing you into the vibe of the time. There's something refreshing about its rawness, as it doesn’t shy away from the awkwardness of hairstyles that were once trendy. It really captures the essence of a time when self-expression through appearance was a big deal, and the practical effects, or lack thereof, add to its charm. Totally worth a watch for anyone into fashion history or the 70s aesthetic.

This film has a somewhat niche appeal and is not widely available, which adds to its charm for collectors. It was released in several obscure formats, and many copies were likely lost or damaged over time, contributing to its scarcity. Interest seems to be rising among those who appreciate vintage fashion and experimental filmmaking. It might be a tough find, but when you do come across a copy, it’s a nice piece to have for the right collection.
