The Sexualist

About This Movie

So, 'The Sexualist' is a quirky dive into the mind of this pretentious hippie director, Jeffrey Montclair, who's all about mixing sex education with astrology. It's got this offbeat, almost chaotic vibe, especially with Montclair juggling an impatient mobster money man and a haughty lead actress, Monica. The pacing feels uneven at times, but it adds to the overall charm—like a snapshot of the 70s indie scene. You can’t help but appreciate the practical effects and the way they tackle the themes of sexuality and artistic ambition. It’s distinctive for sure, and the performances have this raw energy that really captures the era's spirit, albeit with a fair share of melodrama.

This film has had a bit of a rocky road in terms of availability, with few prints circulating among collectors. Its scarcity adds a layer of intrigue, particularly for those interested in obscure 70s comedies. The VHS releases from small labels have become somewhat of a collector's item, often fetching higher prices when they pop up at conventions or online. It’s definitely a unique piece for those who appreciate the weird and wonderful side of film history.
