I moved into a new place and I’m still working out the acoustics so I’m sorry if the audio sounds off in some places! This was more of a casual project for me but I promise I’ll be making some very unhinged content very soon
you could have used an acronym so that you didn't have to say it each time dexyribonucleic acid (dna) edit: it was just a suggestion, hopefully i didn't sound rude. its what I do when something is too long to say. video was still great
There are two things I like to scream towards a LOT (so, luckily you don't have to take it personal) of youtubers big or small and that is: kill the acoustics and mic up. It's all about setting standards for your channel. We're blessed to get any content of you. Wishing you lots of harmony in the new place.
Finally, you've entered the "i make a video about whatever I want" territory, and you do it elegantly. For me it's not the weirdest, it's the strangest.
If you happen to want more borderline-incomprehensible late-60s deconstructionist filmmaking, I'd also highly recommend "Head," the Monkees movie. It's (probably) a film about how much it sucks being a manufactured pop star, thirty years or so before that would be common enough for people to understand WTF it was talking about. Plus the music is great.
Symbiopsychotaxiplasm is the progenitor of modern Metacomedy of people like Nathan Fielder, except he was able to capture everything with a limited amount of film rather than dozens of hours of digital footage. The margins are so slim, it’s incredible that it worked at all.
I'm so happy you made a video on one of my favorite movies. I've never seen a movie where 3 camera shots are on screen all at once but still feels cohesive and chaotically sensible. The way the shots grow and shrink during the movie is so cool for 1968
THIS IS UNHINGED thank you for sharing this wild movie with the internet. also that musical scene reminds me of Possibly in Michigan Cannibal Animal a bit, which means I adore it LOL
Glad to know others got reminded of possibly in Michigan at the musical bit too! I was a little confused at how much it made me think of possibly in Michigan at first.
Why would experiencing someone else's art, and trying to understand and appreciate it, make you braindead? Just because this video frames it as a joke half the time doesn't mean it is. The man who made this movie obviously had a sense of humor, but he also had real artistic intent. TH-cam videos like this can be so incredibly reductive, and I'm sure that's not even what Eva intended. But it comes off that way. If you frame it as being some kind of bad and impossible to understand movie, that's all you're going to see in it.
just wanna say you're the only film tuber I've enjoyed since every frame a painting, and if your channel swerves into doing more of these medium-length, unpretentious takes on art films then I am here for it. love all your videos but this might be my new fave. also the audio was fine, didn't notice any issues - don't worry too much about audio it's a path to insanity.
Watching this makes me think of that one Community episode where Abed tries to make a film that is insanely meta called ‘Abed’ where he Jesus and the director and also maybe god, but it’s trash and in the end Shirley has to ruin it to fix things.
My blessed Evasive, I present to you a submission for strange film. Here in Japan there is an indie American producer who has made 2.5 films called Crying Free Sex, Crying Free Sex Never Again. They’re the epitome of “I’m a foreigner in japan with about $5000 and Final Cut Pro”, and honestly the 2.5th film came out last year, mid pandemic. My partner and I went to THE CINEMA, which it was in cinemas here for A MONTH. It’s wild. It’s insane. It has S&M/human centipede-esk chariots flying through space. That is all. Also, keep it up gurl ❤️🌈
@@EvasiveOne You’re welcome gurl! Streaming options… there’s a Japanese streaming service called UNext, which is our “HBO max”. That’s where my partner and I rewatched it. I think there’s some interviews on TH-cam with director too. Haha
Greaves is now known, by a fringe audience, as the Symbio guy. But, his documentary work is also incredible. The best of his docs in Nationtime, a film about the fractured National Black Political Convention in 1972. The convention, and the conversation held within over the idea of starting a large scale Black political party, ultimately ended with factions infighting and a lack of consensus. Greaves is able to assemble a cohesive narrative out of the chaos, which was only possible because he was so well versed in the art of documentary structuring.
I saw a Criterion DVD of this movie sitting on the shelf of my art school campus library, now I regret not borrowing it to watch this crazy thing for myself. SCA in Rozelle had tons of oddball movies I sat through thanks to internet reviewers.
I am obsessed with your videos and every time one pops up I am ecstatic. I laugh out loud every single time. Your channel needs to blow up cos this shit is fiyaaaaaa
it's okay Eva, you don't have to know how to read, you just have to keep being pretty! (but really, I keep calling the title Symbiopsychotoxoplasmosis, which just shows how obsessed I must be with my pet cat)
You know, it's probably for the best that Cannes didn't want this movie because can you imagine how much more convoluted Baudrillard's Simulation and Simulacra would have been had he seen this before writing it?
The Galdin Quay music somehow made it so easy to focus on the video, love the song choice. I had never heard of this movie, but this was a very convincing video. I'm pretty bad at sitting down for movies, but I'm genuinely thinking of watching it and looking more into William Greaves' work because it seems like such an interesting creative work.
This movie kinda reminds me of House of Leaves, which is a fake movie called the Navidson Record that then gets a fictitious review by a guy who doesn't exists that then gets a bunch of fictitous footnotes and addendums by a shitty tattoo artist who found the fake review in the fake guy's stuff even if he's just as fictitious as the rest. Oh, and he might be a delusion of his abusive mother who is only really shows up after the story when there's still 150 pages left in the novel and I say "show" liberally because we never actually see her. Did I mention it has really weird formatting and font colour too?
I watched the movie and just wanted to thank you for the recommendation and for your videos! I'm having a rough couple of days and you helped me through them. Thank you again ❤
I feel like this movie is what some youtube videos are like nowadays. Or at least the process of making a video if the creator wants to show that to their audience. Because usually there's the main point and project of the video, stapled along with some commentary/behind the scenes talk if you want to call it that. And along with that, is maybe some short clips of B-Roll if they have enough time to record it or find something interesting.
I watched this film for years ago. If watching it means that I fell asleep after hooking up with someone after asking to sleep over and right before they left to go treeplanting the whole summer where once a week we would FB message each other bc they’re in the small town library but when they returned to the city we nearly immediately broke up because I acted like we were dating for 4 months (ie the summer) and they acted like we met at a week long summer camp
I checked out the film that's uploaded on TH-cam, and by check out I mean skipped around to get a feel for it. The scene where they're arguing over needing another film magazine is actually really hilarious. They just keep arguing in circles cause Bill keeps saying the film guy needs one, but the assistant already brought him one.
As soon as you described this movie, I realized that I had heard of it somehow - or at the least, had a very intense sense of déjà vu. 😂 I can't for the life of me figure out how, but hopefully it will hit me at some point so I can add it into this comment or reply. 😅 Thanks for the breakdown of this wild, incredibly fascinating film! Keep up the great work! Seconding lots of the commenters: you're quickly becoming one of my fave Filmtubers. 😊
Sadly it is close to forty pounds (English money) to buy in the UK...I was genuinely going to go and watch it, until slamming into the price. Thank you for your unofficial sequel though.
in the U.S. it’s available to stream on Criterion and HBO Max that’s so strange it’s not available elsewhere, I know it was uploaded to TH-cam but the quality on the TH-cam upload is low
YESSSS. I watched this film last year for the first time! Thanks for convincing me to watch the sequel! And your videos continue to be fantastic and about exactly what I'm interested in wow
I had never heard of this but it's absolutely the kind of thing I would geek the hell out to! Love the whole concept and execution. Thanks Eva. Film school was 100% worth it!
This film's production is so odd. If i was this director, I would've gone to film the short film w/ some behind-the-scenes footage filmed as window dresssing.
Bob Rosen, did some film-making up until the 80s. He's the real hero of the film in my book. He even trolled an academic about it in 2011, in the same spirit he had during the film: "Thanks for your inquiry. But what exactly does it mean to 'confirm' that it's indeed 'me'? Sure, it's me. But how can you be sure? Because I say so? Maybe 'Bob Rosen' doesn't exist at all, just some guy with an email address with the name 'bob' in it, just a fan of the film, as you apparently are, who has found a clever way to participate in the film's afterlife on this guy's blog. Or maybe 'Bob Rosen' is just another of Bill's Actors Studio buddies who agreed to play the role of 'Production Manager' in the film, and is still playing it. And Bill will laugh when I send him a copy of this email. Isn't that precisely the whole point?"
I'm impressed, this feels like if Hal Hartley's "Flirt" and "One Cut of the Dead" had a baby but the baby is actually everyone's grandma because this happened a long time ago. I'm into it.
Eva, this hurt my head and I'm pretty sure you made up half of those words. I'm gonna go see if Symbio.....I'm gonna go see if that movie is streaming somewhere.
I watched it on HBO Max originally before I bought the DVD, I’m sure it’s still on there. Both movies are on TH-cam as well but the video quality is not the best
@@EvasiveOne I don't expect the best of quality from a nearly 60-year-old movie, but I'll see if it's on Max, The Service Formerly Known As HBO. Thank you!
That was quite a mouthful! Hopefully, you'll get some relief with less brain-wrecking movies, before inevitably coming back to cover Strawinsky and the mysterious house. Because reviewing such a video is an acceptable way to self-harm. Also : Seeing my name at the end is such a thrill! Woohoo! Look Mom, I made it!
Found out abt this movie from the show about a show and nathan fielder’s new show. All 3 are so interesting & worth checking out for their own unique experiences & 4th wall breaks!!
Don't try to understand that era. I grew up in it and the bottom line, nothing was deep or made sense. It all spewed out from halucigen use and though creative and fun, none of it meant ANYWHERE near what they thought it did at the time. It was all soooo whacky.
The 3D nonsensical scatting is now my newest paralysis demon. But also I broke the movie name down and it's actually not too difficult to pronounce if you disrespect the entire English language. Which I do and am almost certainly pronouncing it super wrong. I don't feel bad.
The interesting thing is now, were I to watch the film, I couldn’t experience it as intended because as you say, it doesn’t work if you’re in on the joke, or the concept. That huge audience numbers that saw the original back then are so lucky! Um, how many people saw it back then? But conversely, I probably wouldn’t have had (and probably still don’t have to be honest) any intention of seeing it. So for anyone today, being in on it and losing the full impact of the experience is probably unavoidable.
That’s part of what’s so fascinating I think, the fact that pretty much nobody saw it until the 90’s and even then it was only at film festivals. It didn’t get a DVD release until the early 2000’s, and the only people who would have bought the DVD are people who knew what the film was already, it’s basically impossible to watch this movie blind unless someone puts it on in front of you with no context.
I actually want to see this movie. This sounds interesting exploration the realism on film. Def agree with you on Eric Andre show. cuz new season is fine, you can’t recreate the unpredictable chaos. In fairness it doesn’t seem like they are trying to completely repeat the original show
I moved into a new place and I’m still working out the acoustics so I’m sorry if the audio sounds off in some places! This was more of a casual project for me but I promise I’ll be making some very unhinged content very soon
you could have used an acronym so that you didn't have to say it each time
dexyribonucleic acid (dna)
edit:
it was just a suggestion, hopefully i didn't sound rude. its what I do when something is too long to say. video was still great
nah it's ok, great video
your fine you made a fantastic video
There are two things I like to scream towards a LOT (so, luckily you don't have to take it personal) of youtubers big or small and that is: kill the acoustics and mic up.

I have already developed an obsessive and uncalled for parasocial relationship with you. I forgot my point..... notice me!
Wait, but now YOU'VE created a documentary about a documentary about a documentary about a fictional film.
It's not a documentary, it's a documentation
IT'S ALL PART OF THE PERFORMANCE AAAAAAAA
@kate99615 it’s like if johnny truant made house of leaves a video essay documentary instead lol

I’m pretty sure this movie was named after a hemorrhoid medication
That's before they called it Preparation H
"Now my a**hole doesn't look a day over five"

Finally, you've entered the "i make a video about whatever I want" territory, and you do it elegantly.

It's a great movie because it's inherently a jumble, and you don't have to worry about a real plot.

wasn't the whole joke about that episode was that abed knew it was trash, and just wanted to annoy Shirley
Everything I’ve ever heard about Steve Buscemi paints a picture of the most interesting and kind man in the world.
Greaves’ commentary about his film sounds like my introduction to creative writing students who’ve read too much Kerouac.
It feels both pretentious and self-aware. I honestly can't tell if it's ripe for mockery or in on the joke.
@@TheSongwritingCat The answer is yes.

From what I could gather most of Greaves’ films were actually straightforward educational documentaries, with these two films being the big exception
Oh man, I love Sym-Bionic Titan, shame it never got concluded!
Watched this movie this morning based on your video recommendation. It was unique, interesting, and pretty brilliant. Thanks!

They really said, "we only talked 12 times! That's basically a week!" 🤢
I mean. No offense but that does sound like you weren't dating unless they were saying very commited things over those once a week text conversations.
I have never heard of this film or director before. Thanks for the knowledge.

Jack McBrayer on Eric Andre is peak TV.
This was so fun!!! I really enjoy when you’re just following your curiosity.
I literally just heard Justin Simien talk about this movie on Brett Goldstein's podcast this week.
I actually want to see this movie. This sounds interesting exploration the realism on film.
Def agree with you on Eric Andre show. cuz new season is fine, you can’t recreate the unpredictable chaos. In fairness it doesn’t seem like they are trying to completely repeat the original show
The experience of watching this film is unlike any other I can’t recommend it enough
I have no clue what this film is, but you're making a video about it so I'll watch anyways
I don't know if this has been mentioned but this is literally that episode of Community where Abed basically becomes god, haha.
It is an pretty brilliant concept tbh. And a fun brain tickle to be an audience of.
Thank you for this discovery, really want to watch the movie now
I love everything about your videos lmao there's no flaws
