Tales

About This Movie

So, 'Tales' is this curious 1971 documentary, you know? Completely crafted by women, it unfolds like a modern-day Decameron, diving into some pretty bizarre sexual confessions from a mix of young men and women. The tone is raw and unfiltered, capturing those candid moments that make you feel like a voyeur. It’s got that cinema verité style, making the pacing feel almost conversational. The performances are shockingly honest, which adds to the intimate atmosphere. The themes of sexuality and personal experience are explored without any gloss, really distinct for its time. It’s like watching a window into the private lives of the generation back then, and that’s where its strength lies. Definitely a piece that feels like a time capsule of a different era.

'Tales' has a bit of a niche status in the collector community. Originally released on various formats, it’s not the easiest film to come by. The scarcity of physical copies, especially in good condition, has certainly heightened interest among collectors. Not every collection might have this unique piece, but those who appreciate the documentary genre and its evolution will find it a distinctive gem worth the hunt.
