The Main Attraction

About This Movie

So, 'The Main Attraction' is this fascinating triptych of short films from Nova that explores some pretty intense fantasies. The standout, titled 'The Main Attraction,' features Jeffrey Scott and his infatuation with bartender Bo Richards, blending daydreams with a raw touch of reality that’s both bizarre and oddly intimate. Then there's 'It's The Life,' which takes a more mundane setting of a shower and infuses it with a sense of longing. The pacing is a little erratic but that just adds to the overall vibe of the piece. You get a mix of practical effects that are unpolished yet charming, making it feel authentic rather than overly produced. It’s definitely not your standard fare, and that’s what gives it character.

The film is often overlooked but has gained a niche following among collectors who appreciate its unconventional storytelling and raw aesthetic. Early home video releases are quite scarce, adding to its allure. While not widely distributed, it occasionally surfaces on collector forums, drawing interest from those who enjoy lesser-known gems from this era.
