Purely Joyful Movie!
Gripping story with well-crafted characters
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
This is one strange movie. German director, Klaus Lemke is at the helm for only his second film and though he went on to make more than forty, I don't seem to know of any of them. Italian actress, Ira von Furstenberg will be recognised (and enjoyed) from 5 Dolls For An August Moon and The Fifth Cord among many others and male lead Gerard Blain is best known for The American Friend. There are many odd things about this movie, the lack of sex scenes and any real action are two but this thing starts so well in full psychedelic mode and doesn't really let up and it seems best to just enjoy the strangeness, the great visuals and the super soundtrack. Acid is not directly referred to though we see cannabis and as I say not really any sex but it certainly has that WTF? quality and I'm certainly classifying it with my, Acid Erotica sub section.
