Three

About This Movie

So, 'Three' from 1964 is this fascinating little piece that’s all about, you guessed it, threes. It plays with the concept of three men, presented in these short three-minute reels that make up the film’s acts. The atmosphere is almost voyeuristic, as we’re invited to peer into this bathroom scene at the Factory, which feels oddly intimate yet detached. The pacing is brisk, giving each segment a distinct flavor while maintaining an intriguing flow. It’s stark, almost minimalist, and the performances are raw, capturing a sense of immediacy that makes you feel alive in that moment. There’s a certain charm in its experimental nature, a rarity that beckons any collector’s attention.

'Three' is a bit of an enigma in the collector world, often overshadowed by more mainstream releases of its time. It’s known to have had limited distribution, making original prints quite scarce and sought after. The experimental nature of the film appeals to niche collectors who appreciate avant-garde cinema, and the unique structure stands out in the landscape of 60s film. If you come across a copy, it’s definitely worth a deeper dive into its layers.
