Normal Love

1965 · 105 min
7.0 / 10 · TMDB

The feature length Normal Love is Jack Smith’s follow up to his now legendary film Flaming Creatures. This vivid, full-color homage to B-movies is a dizzying display of camp that clearly affirms Smith’s role as the driving force behind underground cinema and performance art of the post-war era. The cast includes Mario Montez, Diane de Prima, Tiny Tim, Francis Francine, Beverley Grant and John Vaccaro. Smith was known to constantly re-edit the film, often during screenings as it was still unspooling from the projector.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Jack Smith constructs a vibrant anti-narrative, relying on the raw aesthetics of underground film and unapologetic theatrical camp. He explores the physicality of the filmstrip itself, treating editing as a live, mutable act that could be altered mid-screening.

What lingers after the final reel is the sensation of a chaotic, dazzling dream where form utterly consumes story. It is a defiant celebration of pure, unbridled visual excess. — MovieFinder Editorial
