Person Number... is a curious piece from 1961 that treads the fine line between observational documentary and experimental short. The atmosphere is almost haunting, with the pacing feeling deliberate yet immersive, drawing you into its world. It explores the theme of identity in a way that's both unsettling and thought-provoking—much like a visual poem. The practical effects are simple but effective, and the performances, though not traditional, have a rawness that adds to the film’s authenticity. It's distinctive for how it challenges conventional narratives, opting instead for a more introspective approach. Definitely something that might spark a conversation among fellow collectors.
This film is somewhat elusive, with limited prints circulating among collectors. It was released in a few formats, mostly on VHS and some obscure DVD editions, but finding a good condition copy can be tricky. The collector interest seems to be on the rise as more people appreciate its distinct approach to documentary filmmaking. It's not just another title in your collection; it's a conversation piece that offers a unique perspective on the genre.
