Untilted

About This Movie

Untilted is a little enigma of a film, really. It drifts through various landscapes, particularly in Maine and New Mexico, while intertwining John Ashbery's poetry. The pacing feels almost meditative, with visuals that complement the poetic lines, creating a contemplative atmosphere that lingers. It’s not polished, and that’s part of its charm. The lack of a clear narrative gives it this ethereal quality, inviting you to simply absorb the imagery and text as they float by. It’s a real treat for those who appreciate the intersection of poetry and visual art, and its elusive nature sticks with you long after the credits roll.

Untilted is quite the rare find among collectors, with its limited format releases over the years making it a curiosity for those interested in avant-garde cinema. The original 1983 release is particularly sought after, and variations in home media can sometimes be tricky to track down. There’s a niche but growing interest in this film as more people stumble across its distinct voice and atmospheric storytelling.
