Trippy Psychedelic Films #2 (List)

Trippy Psychedelic Films #2 (List) | Third Monk image 4

FritzTheCat_Trippy Psychedelic Films

Fritz the Cat is a 1972 American animated comedy film written and directed by Ralph Bakshi, the film was the first animated feature film to receive an X rating in the United States.

It focuses on Fritz, an anthropomorphic feline in mid-1960s New York City who explores the ideals of hedonism and socio-political consciousness.

The film is a satire focusing on American college life of the era, race relations, the free love movement, and left and right-wing politics.

As far as animation goes it’s one of the trippiest movies ever.

 

pink_floyd_the_wall_Trippy Psychedelic Films

Pink Floyd The Wall is a 1982 British live-action/animated musical film directed by Alan Parker based on the 1979 Pink Floyd album, The Wall. The film is highly metaphorical and is rich in symbolic imagery and sound.

It features very little dialogue and is mainly driven by Pink Floyd’s music.

It depicts the construction and ultimate demolition of a metaphorical wall, alienation.

One of the best trippy movies ever.

Enter the Void is a 2009 French film written and directed by Gaspar Noé, labeled by Noé as a “psychedelic melodrama”.

The story is set in Tokyo and focuses on Oscar, a young American drug dealer who gets shot by the police, but continues to watch over his sister Linda and the events which follow during an out-of-body experience, floating above Tokyo’s streets.

Noé had tried various hallucinogens in his youth and used those experiences as inspiration for the visual style.

Including one drug experience where he traveled to the Peruvian jungle to try Ayahuasca. The experience was very intense and Noé regarded it “almost like professional research.” 

This is purely a visual experience, don’t expect a great narrative – just trip out on the global neon candy-scapes.

 

A-0016_Altered_States_quad_movie_poster_l

Altered States is a 1980 American science fiction film adaptation of a novel written by playwright and screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky. It was the only novel that he ever wrote, as well as his final film.

Both the novel and the film are based on John C. Lilly’s sensory deprivation research conducted in isolation tanks under the influence of psychoactive drugs like ketamine and LSD.

William Hurt plays Eddie Jessup, a scientist obsessed with discovering mankind’s true role in the universe. To this end, he submits himself to a series of mind-expanding experiments.

A dazzling film for its time.

 

brazil-poster-art-2

A cult classic by any definition, Terry Gilliam’s epic sci-fi film is a true dystopian satire. Brazil challenges known societal constructs.

Focusing on “satirizing the bureaucratic, largely dysfunctional industrial world that had been driving Gilliam crazy all his life” as Jack Matthews puts it.

It deserves a watch by all psychedelic lovers.

We’ll be back with another part of this series soon, I just have to watch some more psychedelic films!

Pink Floyd – Classical Tribute, London Philharmonic Orchestra (KJ Song Rec)

Pink Floyd - Classical Tribute, London Philharmonic Orchestra (KJ Song Rec) | Third Monk image 2

pink-floyd-psychedelic-orchestra-tributePink Floyd’s iconic 70s psychedelic rock music gets the classical treatment from the London Philaharmonic Orchestra. The LPO is famous for their work on the Lord of the Rings films and Final Fantasy video game franchise.

The songs on this Pink Floyd orchestra tribute album translate beautifully into symphonic music. The cinematic feel from the orchestra arrangement makes you want to float in space.

Psychedelic Cosmos – Pink Floyd’s Echoes, 2001: A Space Odyssey Mash Up (Video)

Psychedelic Cosmos - Pink Floyd's Echoes, 2001: A Space Odyssey Mash Up (Video) | Third Monk

Rumors suggest that Pink Floyd’s “Echoes” synchronizes with Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey, when played concurrently with the final segment (titled “Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite”).

“Echoes” was released three years after the film’s production and is 23 minutes and 31 seconds in length; similar to the “Infinite” segment.

Sound effects in the middle of the song convey the feeling of travelling through, or flying over, an alien world.

The drone vocalizations heard in the final scenes of 2001 seem to match with the discordant bass vibrations in the middle of “Echoes”, as well as the choral glissando’s of its finale.

Another notable link occurs during a change in scene at precisely the moment when guitar and keyboards crescendo as the lyrics re-enter for the final verse.

The early lyrics vaguely convey reference to planets, which seems entirely suitable for the film’s depiction of Jupiter and it’s moons.

Adrian Maben re-created this marriage of music and image using CGI in his Director’s cut of Live at Pompeii.
