The Pure Eccentrics: San Francisco

About This Movie

The Pure Eccentrics: San Francisco is this fascinating dive into a time and place that's practically a character in itself. It’s got this wonderfully lush atmosphere, with these five vibrant gay men sharing their lives and stories from 1970s San Francisco, a period brimming with creativity and cultural shifts. You get a real sense of their passion for historic architecture, and it's like each tale transports you right back to those streets. The pacing ebbs and flows, matching the energy of its subjects, and you can’t help but appreciate the charm and humor that weaves through their experiences. It’s not just a documentary; it’s a tapestry of lives lived fully, with the city as both backdrop and muse.

The film has been released in limited formats, making it somewhat of a rarity among collectors. Interest has been growing slowly, especially among those who appreciate LGBTQ+ history and the cultural significance of San Francisco during that era. Original DVDs can be hard to find, and any special screenings or retrospectives only increase its appeal, drawing in viewers who want that authentic glimpse into the past.
