We're Coming Back

About This Movie

So, 'We're Coming Back' is this interesting little promotional film shot by Pat and Patachon before their Swedish performance in 1923. It's got a playful ambiance, with Patachon making a call from a phone booth, which adds this delightful layer of absurdity. The pacing is brisk, a nice little tease for what was to come during their show. The film, subtitled in Swedish, really captures that light-hearted spirit of the era. It’s a brief glimpse into their world, and what’s particularly cool is how it has that raw quality of early cinema, something you don’t often see in modern films. It’s simple, yet charming.

This film is quite a rarity in the collector's world, primarily because it was created as a promotional piece rather than a standalone project. Its ephemeral nature leads to limited distribution, making original prints hard to come by. Many collectors appreciate its historical significance and the unique glimpse it offers into the performance culture of the 1920s, often discussing how it reflects the era's artistic sensibilities.
