Untouchable

About This Movie

Untouchable (1998) dives into some pretty complex territory, exploring the often murky waters of relationships between teens and older adults. The film's tone is a bit unsettling, but it has this strange charm too, an almost surreal vibe. The ice cream truck motif adds a layer of nostalgia that contrasts with the darker themes, while the inclusion of bowie knives feels like a nod to the potential for danger in those infatuations. Performances are raw, and that unpolished feel brings a certain realism. The pacing might feel uneven at times, but it kind of mirrors the chaotic emotions of youth. It's definitely one of those films that sticks in your mind for its willingness to tackle taboo subjects without a safety net.

Untouchable has a modest print run, which makes it a bit rare among collectors, especially those drawn to unconventional narratives. It’s not commonly found in mainstream collections, creating a niche appeal. Formats vary, but the VHS release tends to be the most sought after, reflecting that collector interest in underground and independent cinema from the late '90s. If you’re into films that push boundaries, this one definitely warrants a closer look.
