The Jones'

About This Movie

The Jones' (1977) is a curious little piece that just oozes a raw, experimental vibe. Shot on 16mm and then transferred to digital, the quality has a certain grit that many collectors appreciate. The film explores themes of identity and conformity through an almost surreal lens, with performances that feel both authentic and off-kilter. It’s got this lingering atmosphere and a pace that keeps you engaged, even if it’s not your typical narrative structure. What sets it apart is its blend of practical effects and a distinct, almost homemade aesthetic that reminds you of an era when creativity often outweighed budget. Definitely one for the collectors who enjoy the lesser-known gems of the late '70s.

The Jones' is a bit of an obscure title in the realm of 1970s short films, which makes it a gem for serious collectors. There's limited availability, as many prints have not survived in good condition, plus it’s not widely known outside niche circles. Its unique style and themes contribute to a growing interest among collectors who appreciate the experimental works of the era.
