Tennis Courts (Trilogy)

About This Movie

So, 'Tennis Courts' - it's this trilogy that feels like a meditation on abandonment, really. The director remains a mystery, which kind of adds to its allure, don’t you think? Each segment unfolds like a long take, capturing these empty courts across seasons, almost like a visual poem. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere of desolation and nostalgia. It’s not just about the places; it's about what they used to be. The practical effects are minimal, but that’s the point – they heighten the film's raw, unfinished feel. It’s distinct in its focus – who knew abandoned tennis courts could evoke such depth?

This trilogy is a bit of an enigma in the collector's world. The absence of a known director and the unconventional style make it a rare find. Limited releases have circulated, but copies are scarce, and interest seems to be growing among those drawn to experimental cinema. Its unique theme of abandonment resonates with a niche audience, so tracking down a copy can be quite the treasure hunt.
