We Imitate; We Break Up

About This Movie

We Imitate; We Break Up is this fascinating dive into the complexities of relationships, showcasing a dynamic between Mario and his female counterpart that feels raw. The pacing is a bit uneven, almost reflective of the tumultuous emotions between the characters which I find captivating. There’s this strange blend of the real and the constructed that plays out visually, challenging your perception of authenticity. The performances are quite compelling, with a sense of urgency that grips you, and the practical effects used throughout add an intriguing layer to the narrative. It's like watching a relationship unfold in real-time, with all the messy bits included.

This film has a certain obscurity that makes it appealing to collectors, especially considering the director remains unknown. There aren't many prints available, and its experimental nature lends itself to a niche audience—perfect for those who appreciate the unconventional. It's not the easiest to find, but if you do, it’s definitely worth exploring in the context of late '70s cinema.
