The Heart

About This Movie

So, 'The Heart' from '73 is this fascinating blend of animation and romance, all wrapped in a sci-fi atmosphere. The story revolves around a clown who's hopelessly in love with a girl trapped inside a stopped clock. It’s quirky, charming, and has this whimsical visual style that really stands out. The pacing is a bit off-kilter, but that just adds to its unique vibe, you know? The practical effects have a certain handmade quality that feels like a labor of love. The performances, though animated, carry a raw emotional weight that pulls you in. It’s a curious piece that lingers in your mind long after watching.

'The Heart' is quite rare on the collector market, with only a handful of releases over the years, primarily in VHS and a few obscure DVD editions. The scarcity adds to its allure among niche collectors who appreciate its offbeat storytelling and artistic style. It's not the easiest film to find, which makes it a talking point in any collection that leans toward the unusual and lesser-known gems of the 70s.
