Let Me Count The Lays

About This Movie

Let Me Count The Lays is a peculiar blend of fantasy and raunchy storytelling from the early '70s. The film unfolds on the wedding night of a groom who's seemingly more interested in recounting his past conquests than in his bride. The atmosphere is a strange mixture of whimsical and awkward, with pacing that feels deliberately uneven, reflecting the protagonist’s own scattered memories. The performances are quite raw, almost like a slice-of-life play, but it’s the practical effects used for the fantasy sequences that really stand out, adding a unique, kitschy charm. Definitely not your typical wedding story, it feels more like an exploration of masculine identity and desire, albeit through a rather humorous lens.

This film has had a somewhat elusive history, rarely appearing in mainstream collections, which contributes to its scarcity among collectors. The original release formats are not widely known, making any early editions quite sought after. Interest in the film is mostly driven by curiosity about its unconventional narrative and the cultural backdrop of the early '70s, appealing to those who appreciate offbeat cinema.
