Your Name's Not God, It's Edgar

About This Movie

Your Name's Not God, It's Edgar is one of those intriguing TV movies that captures a very specific vibe of the late 60s. It dives deep into themes of existentialism through the character of Edgar Lunt, a man trapped in his own rigid worldview. The performances, especially from the lead, really bring out the tension between his logical mindset and the chaos of human emotion. The pacing is intentional, almost meditative at times, allowing you to sit with Edgar’s struggles. Notably, the practical effects are minimal but effective, serving more to illustrate Edgar's internal conflicts than distract from them. It's a unique piece that stands apart from more conventional fare of its time.

This film has a limited release history, often overlooked in discussions about 60s television. Its scarcity makes it a curiosity among collectors, especially those interested in psychological dramas of that era. While not widely available, digital formats have started to surface, but original broadcast copies remain sought after due to their rarity. Collectors appreciate its exploration of deeper themes over more conventional storytelling.
