The Archangels

About This Movie

The Archangels is a curious piece from 1963 that dances between comedy and whimsy, featuring performances by Roberto Bisacco, Paolo Graziosi, and Maria Virginia Onorato. The film has this laid-back pacing, almost like it's inviting you to sit back and enjoy the absurdity of its narrative. There’s a light-hearted tone that carries through, peppered with moments that catch you off guard. The practical effects, though modest by today’s standards, have that charming, handmade quality that adds to its distinctiveness. It’s not your run-of-the-mill comedy; there’s an underlying playfulness that can resonate with collectors who appreciate the quirks and the era's filmmaking style.

The Archangels has a bit of a niche following among collectors, largely due to its obscurity and the uncredited director. The film was released in various formats over the years, but finding a good quality print can be challenging. Interest tends to be more focused on the film’s offbeat humor and the performances of its leads, making it a curious find for those who enjoy digging into lesser-known comedies from the early 60s.
