The Courier

About This Movie

So, 'The Courier' from 1990 is this odd little gem that dives into the more, let’s say, unconventional side of massage therapy. It's all about this young masseur who, faced with particularly demanding clients, turns to a sex shop for some rather interesting 'tools' to meet their needs. The tone is a mix of cheeky humor and surprising sincerity, creating a bizarre atmosphere that’s both playful and slightly uncomfortable. The pacing takes some unexpected turns, and while the performances may not be Oscar-worthy, they certainly bring a distinctive energy to this quirky narrative. It’s definitely one of those films that sticks with you, mostly for its sheer audacity and the way it tackles themes of intimacy and human connection in such a unique manner.

'The Courier' is a bit of an enigma in the collector's world. It hasn't seen widespread release, making original formats quite scarce and sought after by niche collectors. The film's unique premise and distinct themes give it a certain allure, attracting those who appreciate offbeat cinema. It's interesting to see how this film has maintained a quiet but dedicated following, with collectors often sharing rare screeners and discussing its unconventional charm.
