Triple Spice

About This Movie

So, 'Triple Spice' from 1968 is one of those tucked-away gems that really captures a moment in time, you know? It’s not your typical narrative film. Instead, it’s a collection of short experimental pieces spanning from 1963 to 1967, giving you this curious vibe of the avant-garde scene back then. The pacing feels almost erratic at times, but that’s part of its charm. You can sense the raw creativity, the practical effects are super engaging, and while we don't know much about the director, the film has this distinctive pulse that's hard to shake off. It’s got layers that resonate with the experimental ethos of its era, making it a fascinating watch for those who appreciate that vein of cinematic exploration.

Finding 'Triple Spice' can be a bit of a challenge, as it’s not widely distributed. Most copies floating around are from the original screenings or select retrospectives. That said, it’s gained some traction among collectors interested in the avant-garde movement of the late 60s. Its scarcity makes it an intriguing piece for anyone delving into experimental cinema, especially those who follow Jonas Mekas’ work closely.
