Savages

About This Movie

Savages is this quirky gem from 1972, where you’ve got these mudpeople stumbling into a world of civilization, and let me tell you, the contrast is hilarious and thought-provoking. It plays with themes of societal norms and how absurd they can be, all while keeping a light, almost whimsical tone. The pacing has this relaxed vibe that makes you feel like you’re just wandering along with the characters, and the practical effects are surprisingly effective given the era. It’s a fascinating exploration of what it means to be civilized, wrapped up in comedy and fantasy, making it feel distinct in the landscape of early '70s cinema.

Savages has seen a few releases over the years, but finding a well-preserved copy can be a challenge, as it's not widely circulated. The blend of comedy and social commentary makes it an intriguing piece for collectors who appreciate offbeat films from the '70s. Its scarcity often sparks interest among those looking to explore lesser-known titles that offer unique storytelling and cultural reflections.
