Intermission

About This Movie

So, 'Intermission' is this interesting piece from 1973, directed by Gill Dennis. It's got this laid-back vibe, punctuated by moments that really pull you in. The pacing isn’t rush-rush; it meanders, almost like a conversation that takes its time revealing thoughts and ideas. The atmosphere feels gritty yet personal, with characters that seem real, flawed, and relatable. Not much is flashy here, but the practical effects serve the story well, giving it a raw edge. The performances are solid, not overdone, which I kind of appreciate; they really let the narrative breathe. It’s one of those films that sticks with you subtly, like a whisper rather than a shout.

Finding this film on any format can be a bit tricky, as it hasn't had the most extensive distribution history. Collectors often discuss its limited release, which adds to its allure. The interest in 'Intermission' seems to ebb and flow, but those who are in the know appreciate its distinct narrative style and character-driven storytelling that diverges from mainstream cinema of its time.
