So, 'The Indians Are Still Far Away' is this hauntingly quiet drama from '77, which digs into the chilling themes of isolation and the weight of young lives lost. Set against the stark backdrop of Lausanne, the film’s pacing is deliberate, drawing you in as it unravels Jenny Kern's tragic story. It’s not flashy but manages to create an atmosphere thick with tension and melancholy. The performances feel deeply felt, with a rawness that’s hard to shake off. There’s no glamor here, just a stark portrayal of youth and despair that lingers in your mind long after the credits roll. It’s one of those titles that leaves you thinking.
This film has seen limited release over the years, making it somewhat of a hidden gem for serious collectors. The scarcity in physical formats and the absence of a significant restoration effort contribute to its allure. Many collectors appreciate its unique storytelling and raw emotionality, which stand apart from typical entries of the era. Finding a well-preserved copy can be a challenge, but those who do often cherish it for the way it captures a time and feeling that's hard to articulate.
