Taste of Black

About This Movie

Taste of Black is one of those peculiar entries from the late '80s that sort of lingers in your mind. The atmosphere is murky, almost claustrophobic, and there’s this underlying tension that builds slowly but surely. The pacing is deliberate, allowing for some genuinely poignant moments that contrast with the rawness of its themes. Practical effects, when they appear, are striking and often unsettling, adding to the film's unique character. Performances are varied—some hit the mark while others feel a bit off, but that’s part of its charm, you know? It’s a distinctive piece that stands out for its ambition, even if it’s not widely known or appreciated.

Taste of Black has had a rather elusive existence in collector circles. It's not widely available on mainstream platforms, and physical copies can be hard to come by, which adds to its mystique. The film seems to attract a niche group of collectors who appreciate its obscure appeal and its raw, atmospheric storytelling. As such, it garners interest for those dedicated to seeking out lesser-known gems from its era.
