Feride

About This Movie

So, Feride is this intriguing slice of life from the early '70s, blending drama with hints of romance and family dynamics. The pacing feels organic, allowing the viewer to really settle into the characters’ lives, which are full of emotional depth and nuance. What strikes me is the way the film captures the essence of its time, almost like a window into a different culture and family structure. The performances are quite earnest and sincere, drawing you into their struggles and triumphs. The cinematography, while perhaps not groundbreaking, complements the story's intimate feel, adding to that nostalgic atmosphere we collectors often chase after.

Feride has a somewhat elusive availability in collector circles, with its prints being quite rare. Most copies seem to exist in VHS format, which adds a layer of nostalgia but also a challenge in terms of quality. Its limited release and the unknown director contribute to its underground status, making it a curiosity for those interested in international cinema from that era. Collectors often seek it out for its unique blend of themes and the cultural insight it provides, adding to its appeal.
