Klaxon (1971) is a curious artifact, really. It's this odd blend that feels like a fever dream of the art scene. You’ve got the magazine aspect that's supposed to extend the Modern Art Week of '22, and it really captures that strange energy of the time. The pacing is uneven, sometimes contemplative, sometimes almost frantic, which adds to its charm. Practical effects, if you can even call them that, play a big part here—very DIY, but they manage to evoke the rawness of the era. Performances are... let's say, interesting, varying from awkward to oddly compelling. It's a distinctive piece—definitely not your run-of-the-mill film, and it gives a fascinating glimpse into the art world of the early '70s.
Klaxon is a rare find for collectors, often eluding those who don't specifically scour the more obscure corners of film history. Its format history is quite limited, adding to its scarcity; it hasn't seen many re-releases over the years. Interest among collectors tends to be niche, but those who appreciate the avant-garde and the evolution of art within cinema will likely seek it out. This film serves as a unique snapshot of its time, making it a talking point among dedicated film enthusiasts.
