The Mole

About This Movie

The Mole is a curious piece from 1985 that really makes you think about the nature of reality. The pacing has this almost hypnotic quality, lulling you into its dreamlike narrative as the agent delves into the daily lives that seem so mundane yet are anything but. It’s all about that exploration of existence, wrapped in a slightly surreal atmosphere that feels a bit disorienting. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, add a certain charm that enhances the film's weirdness. The performances have this understated quality, pulling you into their internal struggles. It’s not your typical narrative and I’d say that’s what gives it a unique flavor. Definitely one for those who appreciate the oddities of cinema.

The Mole has seen limited release over the years, making any original formats quite scarce. Despite its obscurity, there's a small but dedicated collector interest due to its distinctive themes and atmosphere. Various VHS copies are floating around, but finding a clean print is getting tougher. This film has a certain cult appeal, particularly for those drawn to offbeat narratives and surreal storytelling.
