Seconds (1966)

What a fascinating film this was, a classic better version of the movie The Substance which is also terrific.

Captivating from the start, tremendous camera work, way ahead of its time. A very unusual film that has the quality to make u wonder what’s gonna happen next.

Masterpiece!
