About This Movie

Breakdown is a 1978 drama directed by an unlisted filmmaker. The film follows a journalist grappling with a troubled marriage and a strange skin disease, ultimately finding new strength in the mountains.

This film has been somewhat elusive in terms of physical media, with a few VHS releases but limited availability on DVD or Blu-ray, making it a bit of a treasure for collectors. Its unique thematic elements around personal disintegration and the practical effects of the skin disease add a layer of interest that resonates with fans of character-driven narratives. The scarcity of high-quality prints contributes to its allure, with collectors often on the lookout for any archival footage or interviews that might shed light on its making.
