The New Seven Lines Between Things

About This Movie

So, 'The New Seven Lines Between Things' is quite the curiosity—a 1983 anthology flick from this group called Parodious Unity. It’s all over the place in a fascinating way. The tone swings between surreal comedy and odd drama, with each segment feeling distinct but woven together by some shared themes about perception and human connection. You notice the practical effects are charmingly homemade, which adds to the overall atmosphere of quirky experimentation. The pacing can feel uneven, but that’s part of its charm, I think. Performances vary but have this earnestness that pulls you in, making it a unique watch.

Finding this film in good condition is a bit tough, as it didn't have a wide release and hasn't seen a lot of reprints. There's some interest in the indie scene, especially among collectors who appreciate anthology films and the oddities of the early '80s. Its obscure nature and the mystery surrounding its unknown director only add to the allure for those digging into lesser-known works from that era.
