Ecstacy Required

Rating: Null/10 (16 November 2002)

This movie is utterly extraordinary. I cannot make heads nor tails of it. I can appreciate that this was something ground-breaking in 1968, but there's nothing it can be compared to in the 21st century (which is ironic since it's set in the 21st century). It is arguable that the finale of this movie is only understood, and ultimately enjoyed, if you are under the influence of a hallucogenic drug. The colours are spectacular and the music is out-of-this-world (surprise surprise). I have to imagine that the producers of this film were severely displaced and weren't entirely in their right state of mind, which is why this is such a brilliant film.
