Wild Fruits

About This Movie

So, 'Wild Fruits' takes you on a trip back to the 16th century, where you get wrapped up in the life of Jean Aurand, a fellow who’s seen some things in the Antarctic. It’s this strange yet cozy vibe as we see him find solace in the company of Michel de Montaigne, and it's really fascinating how their interactions unfold. The film plays with surrealism, and you can feel the weight of philosophical musings mixed with fantastical elements. The pacing lingers in moments that matter, allowing the atmosphere to settle in. Practical effects provide a certain rawness that feels refreshing, and I’m intrigued to see how the unknown director shapes such rich themes of existence and knowledge. It has this unique quality, a bit of a hidden gem feel.

'Wild Fruits' has generated some buzz among collectors, not least because of its unique narrative blending historical figures with surreal storytelling. Currently, it seems to be less common on physical media, making earlier editions particularly desirable. It’s intriguing to see how this film might evolve in value as more collectors discover its distinct approach to storytelling and character exploration.
