The Company We Keep

About This Movie

The Company We Keep is an intriguing blend of unconnected loops, all revolving around the motif of a porn studio. The film consists of three shorts: Movie Van, Hot Splice, and Weekend Action, each with its own quirky vibe. It has this experimental feel, where the pacing can be a bit erratic but lends itself to the overall surreal atmosphere. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, add a certain charm, and the performances—though uneven—carry a kind of raw authenticity. There's a distinct sense of playfulness that ties it together, making it feel like a curious artifact of its time. Definitely a conversation starter for collectors who appreciate the oddities of the genre.

The Company We Keep has seen various formats over the years, but its VHS editions are becoming harder to find, which adds to its appeal among collectors. There’s a certain niche interest in films that attempt a more avant-garde approach to adult themes, and this movie fits that bill. Its scarcity and oddball nature make it a noteworthy piece for those who appreciate the eclectic side of 1980s cinema.
