Touched in the Head

About This Movie

Touched in the Head is this quirky blend of comedy and drama that kind of sneaks up on you. The story follows Chris, a baker's apprentice who's suddenly out of a job but refuses to give up his flat, which leads to a pretty wild squatting situation. It’s got this ragtag group vibe with characters like Liv, a Swedish girl, and Léon, the mechanic—each adding their own flavor to the mix. There's a rawness to the performances that feels genuine, capturing that aimless spirit of youth in the '70s. The pacing can be a bit meandering, but it really immerses you in their world, and the practical effects, though subtle, lend a nice touch of realism amidst the chaos.

Touched in the Head has seen a few releases over the years, but it's still fairly elusive in terms of availability. Collectors often value the film for its raw portrayal of life and the oddball characters that inhabit it, which makes it a unique find in the comedy-drama genre. While not widely recognized, it holds a certain charm that resonates with those who appreciate offbeat narratives, and that appeal keeps it on the radar for niche collectors.
