This long forgotten coming of age drama was briefly available on VHS from Prism and is now almost impossible to find. Produced, written, and directed by Hall Bartlett, Changes treads some familiar territory, but does so delicately and in interesting ways. The film features very little dialogue, with the songs of Tim Buckley dominating the soundtrack, which also features Judy Collins' pop version of Both Sides Now. Prism's tape looks great, but is sadly pan and scanned, leaving Richard Moore's gorgeous Panavision photography in less than optimal condition. Nonetheless, this is well worth a look, especially for those with a particular interest in the era, or for those who attended the Berkeley campus, where early scenes were shot. Get a look at how the Campanile, Sather Gate, and Lower Sproul looked in the late 60s! They haven't changed much since then...
