Details

Is it an epic, underground masterpiece or a colossal cinematic mind f*ck? This film may turn you inside out in its dizzying spectacle of occult images, historical allegories, surrealist dreamscapes, scenes of violence comingled with beauty, and with artistic and mythological themes so far-spun into the outer reaches of the human imagination that you may experience in viewing it either a). spiritual enlightenment or b). a complete psychotic breakdown.

The mystic swims in the waters the psychotic drowns in.

It's a mind altering acid trip funded by John Lennon himself. This film triggers massive awe, laughter, disgust, outrage, disorientation, and disbelief balanced by sober, intelligent reflection it is also meant to inspire. It's a phantasmagoric treasure trove that deserves multiple viewings and inexhaustible discussion.

Perhaps it's all style over substance? Perhaps its chaos searching for order? Perhaps it's a darkly comic satire. Perhaps it is an intentional perceptual overload meant to break through your habitual thinking into a new dimension.

Whatever your experience, please expand it geometrically in our discussion. Let's share the joys, the horrors, confusion, spiritual breakthroughs or catastrophes we may have had in viewing it. It's all happening right here on Meetup with this Zoom event!
