Voodoo Child

About This Movie

So, Voodoo Child is this unique piece set against a backdrop of the late '60s, where the hedonistic atmosphere of Majorca really shines through. You have Hendrix playing in a disco, which is just a wild touch, juxtaposed with Pablo's journey into adulthood. The film has this gritty, almost raw feel, like it’s capturing those fleeting moments of youth. The performances are, well, they carry a weight that resonates, especially with the coming-of-age theme. It's not really polished but that adds to its charm, you know? The pacing is kind of meandering, reflecting the vibe of the era and the chaos of that summer.

Voodoo Child has had a somewhat elusive history in physical formats, making it a curious piece for collectors. Early DVD releases were limited, and it has never gained mainstream attention, leading to its scarcity. As a result, it garners interest primarily from those intrigued by counterculture cinema or the late '60s music scene. Its distinct narrative approach and atmospheric setting add to its collectible allure.
