Blue Movie (1994)
*** (out of 4)
This here is a pretty unique avant-garde film from director Mark Street. I had never heard of the film before coming across a discussion on it. From what I read, it appears the director took a old porn movie (pre-1950s) and optically zoomed in on it only to them do a post-production thing called step-printing. I guess the best way to describe this is if you remember those old cable boxes where you could turn to a pay channel and view bits and pieces of it as it would be too blurry to fully "watch" but at times the picture would come together well enough to where you could make out what was going on. I think it's pretty doubtful that the majority of people would watch this thing but those who like strange trips should enjoy it. I really liked the style that the director brought to the film and it really seems as if it was put together with an imagination and not just a bunch of images thrown together just for the sake of calling it art. The music score was also extremely effective as was the way the vocals were used.
