Patricia

About This Movie

So, Patricia is this quirky little comedy from 1979 that kind of slips under the radar. The tone is light and breezy, yet it feels like there’s a subtle bite to its humor. The pacing meanders a bit, allowing moments to breathe, which can be refreshing. The performances are what really stand out—there's an odd charm in the characters that makes them memorable despite the lack of a clear narrative drive. It's got this distinctly late '70s vibe, both in its aesthetic and its approach to comedy, which gives it a unique atmosphere. And while the practical effects aren’t a highlight, they contribute to the film’s offbeat character, making it a curious watch for collectors looking for those hidden gems.

Patricia is one of those films that collectors often describe as elusive. It was released on VHS initially, but good luck finding that copy; it seems to have faded into obscurity over time. There’s not a ton of information out there, which adds to its intrigue, and you can often find varied interest levels among collectors. Depending on the availability, some might consider it a hidden treasure, while others are still on the hunt for a decent print.
