Talisman

About This Movie

Talisman from 1968 is a quirky comedy that drifts through its narrative with a kind of loose charm that’s hard to pin down. The tone feels like a whimsical trip through a dream, where the absurd meets the everyday in a fashion that’s surprisingly engaging. Pacing can be a little uneven, but that’s part of the film's character, giving it a relaxed vibe. Practical effects, though not groundbreaking, have a certain homemade quality that adds to the film’s offbeat atmosphere. Performances are a mixed bag; some actors really lean into the comedy while others seem to be trying to find their footing, adding an unpredictable layer to the viewing experience. There's definitely something distinctive about its approach, a bit of a hidden gem for those who appreciate the unconventional.

Talisman has seen limited releases over the years, making original formats a bit scarce among collectors. Enthusiasts tend to gravitate toward this title for its oddball humor and unique visual style. While it’s not widely known, those in the know appreciate its quirks, which can make it a valued piece in a more eclectic collection.
