Stop

About This Movie

So, 'Stop' from 1980 is quite the head-turner, right? Picture this: a hitchhiker in these ridiculously tiny shorts making his way to St. Tropez. It’s got this cheeky vibe, blending the absurd with a sort of daring bravado. The pacing is a bit erratic, which adds to its charm. And, oh, the practical effects – or lack thereof – contribute to a raw feel that’s hard to shake off. Performances aren’t necessarily Oscar-worthy, but they have a certain authenticity that pulls you in. It’s like a snapshot of a time gone by, with a playful disregard for the norms of its era. There's this underlying commentary about freedom and desire, which makes it distinctive in its own right.

'Stop' is a rarity in collector circles, often sought after due to its unique premise and the era it hails from. Various formats have come and gone, but the original VHS still holds a certain mystique among dedicated collectors. Scarcity is definitely a factor, as this title didn't see an extensive release, making it a noteworthy piece for those who appreciate obscure films. Interest seems to be on the rise, especially with niche screenings and discussions in film forums.
