Tongue Tied

About This Movie

Tongue Tied, the second part of the trilogy that started with Grey's Lullaby, is a fascinating piece. It’s in black and white, giving it this raw, nostalgic feel, and the strobing grey patterns create an almost hypnotic atmosphere. The pacing feels languid, reflective—perfect for an artist's journey, yet it doesn't get bogged down in seriousness. It’s a curious blend of digitized imagery that might not appeal to everyone, but there’s something distinct about its experimental approach. The performances are understated, almost ethereal, making it a unique watch for those who appreciate the art of film beyond conventional storytelling.

Tongue Tied has garnered a niche interest among collectors, especially since it was shot and then left for years before release. The film's limited availability adds to its allure, creating a sense of scarcity that collectors love. Originally part of a trilogy, it’s fascinating to see how its predecessors and successors interweave, making it a noteworthy piece for those who appreciate experimental cinema. Finding a well-preserved copy is a challenge, which often sparks discussions among enthusiasts.
