Saint Frenzy

About This Movie

Saint Frenzy is one of those under-the-radar gems that provides a raw, unfiltered look at the emotional turmoil of a young woman, portrayed by Maribel Mejia. The film has this dreamy quality, reminiscent of the French New Wave, with its spontaneous road trip setting and introspective moments that feel both chaotic and liberating. The pacing is loose and leisurely, allowing the audience to really sink into her experiences and heartbreaks. There’s an authenticity in the performances, especially in how Mejia navigates her character’s emotional landscape, making it strikingly relatable. It’s a unique blend of style and substance that doesn’t quite fit neatly into any box.

Saint Frenzy remains a bit elusive in terms of availability, with early home video releases being quite scarce. The film has piqued the interest of collectors who appreciate its unique aesthetic and thematic resonance. Finding a copy, especially in good condition, can be a challenge, but its distinct tone and atmosphere make it a worthwhile pursuit for those who enjoy deep cuts from the early '80s.
