The ultimate cinematic head trip of the 1980s, British renegade Ken Russell's first Hollywood film adapted by the legendary screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky from his own novel is part hallucinogenic freak-out, part gonzo creature feature, part transcendent love story, all played at a fever pitch. When researcher Eddie Jessup (William Hurt) begins using himself as a test subject for his mind-expanding psychological experiments, it sends him on an increasingly dangerous, substance-fueled odyssey from humankind's primordial past to the outer limits of consciousness. It's all visualized by Russell in a psychedelic supernova of out-there imagery that encompasses everything from the pagan to the cosmic sublime, culminating in a brain-wave-blasting battle between the mind and the heart.

research scientist eddie jessup (william hurt) believes other states of consciousness are as real as everyday reality. using sensory deprivation, then adding powerful, hallucinogenic drugs, he explores these altered states... and endures experieces that make madness seem a blessing. academy award winner william hurt as jessup (his film debut) heads a solid cast featuring blair brown, bob balaban and charles haid. working from paddy chayefsky's novel, director ken russell guides us with a sorcerer's skill through eddie's magical and horrific journey as 'altered states' gyrates with dazzling visual bravado and bracing emotional impact.

Based on the review on blu-ray dot com, this is a zone free blu ray.
So, it's not only Zone A.
Surreal und erschreckend - typisch Ken Russel

Scritta il 03. agosto 2024 da Butterfly.

Questa recensione si riferisce a una versione alternativa.

Surrealer absolut starker Schocker aus den 80ern und einer meiner Lieblingsfilme. Das experimentieren mit Drogen war und ist für den Menschen schon immer etwas, was ihn in seinen Bann zog. Ken Russel übertreibt es zwar etwas, doch die Story ist spannend gemacht mit erschreckenden Spezialeffekten.
