Pick-up (1975)
8/10
You won't have seen a film quite like this before
19 September 2007
Wow! I'm just a sucker for stuff like this. A real trippy trip and a real surprise. I was expecting crap camera-work, crap acting and silly story comprising a decent little, grind house piece of sleaze. But no, someone had genuine aspirations here and if it doesn't completely come off, it is certainly a super, one off of a movie that manages to encapsulate a brief moment in western youth culture. But leaving aside any seriousness this is such a great movie to watch with such super widescreen cinematography. Two girls and a guy and a converted bus are cavorting their way to deliver the said auto when they end up lost in the Everglades and just decide to enjoy themselves. Bright, cheery, sexy, yes maybe a little pretentious but it has such a glow about it that it would be churlish to complain. Just when I was beginning to wonder if this was going anywhere at all there is a most impressive burst of violence and it's over. You won't have seen a film quite like this before.
