Tagtraum

About This Movie

Tagtraum is a curious little documentary from '73 that dives into a psychedelic rendezvous among three artists. It’s got this hazy, dreamlike quality that really puts you in that headspace of experimentation and creativity. The pacing feels loose and organic, almost like you're wandering through their thoughts. The visuals can be trippy, with some practical effects that enhance the surreal atmosphere—definitely not your run-of-the-mill doc. The performances are more like snapshots of spontaneity, capturing genuine artistic synergy. There’s a rawness to it that makes it stand apart from more polished documentaries; you really feel the era and the artistic exploration.

Tagtraum is somewhat of an obscurity, often overshadowed by more mainstream documentaries of its time. Formats are limited, with few home releases, making it a sought-after item for those interested in avant-garde cinema. Collector interest tends to fluctuate, but there’s a niche audience that appreciates its distinct take on the artist experience during the psychedelic era. It's an intriguing piece for anyone digging into the more esoteric side of 70s documentary filmmaking.
