Altered States
4K + Blu-ray Special Edition
Directed by Ken Russell
The ultimate cinematic head trip of the 1980s, British renegade Ken Russells first Hollywood productionadapted by legendary screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky from his own novelis 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 humankinds primordial past to the outer limits of consciousness. Its 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.
