A mysterious—and possibly lost—film from 1983...
This popped up for sale back in 2022 with little to no info online—it was listed for an abysmal price but me and some folks from Kineko were able to obtain it securely with our crowdfunding efforts. The TLC'er on this project concluded that this was likely made by a talent agency with the purpose of promoting its actors. Considering this is the only film they showed up in, I don't think it went the way they had hoped...
Anyways—hard to describe what kind of movie this is. Some guy wakes up in the desert with an alien girl and uses some "tickets" he had on him to take various glimpses throughout his life, starting from when he was a child and leading up all the way to his appearance in the desert. He despises being "ordinary" and attempts (unsuccessfully) to be the exact opposite.
I'm not sure what the ending means, so don't ask me about that.
The 16mm film print for this movie was extremely faded—color correction was done on it to try and get it looking as less red as possible. Because there are no images of the movie online, it's really hard to pinpoint how exactly it should look and I'm not too sure if it would have been possible to get the colors to look "original" anyways, given the print's condition and all that.
Enjoy!
