The True Way

About This Movie

The True Way is a curious blend of comedy and exploitation, where the absurdity of the premise kind of sets the tone. It follows a guru who, in his quest for enlightenment, lures young women into performing increasingly outrageous acts. The pacing feels uneven, part of it drags while the humor occasionally hits the mark, albeit in a bizarre way. What's striking is the atmosphere—there's a surreal quality that makes you question what you're watching. The performances are a mixed bag; some actors seem to embrace the absurdity while others feel a bit lost. It’s distinctive for its odd take on enlightenment, weaving in themes of manipulation and freedom, set against the backdrop of the early '70s counterculture. Not your typical comedy, for sure.

The True Way has seen limited releases over the years, making it somewhat scarce in collector circles. It was originally released in a few niche formats, but finding a decent copy can be a challenge. Interest among collectors tends to revolve around its unique premise and the oddball charm it possesses, often bringing it into discussions about boundary-pushing cinema of the 1970s.
