BB's MOVIES # 7
by BBJane Hudson
The sugar cubes aroused considerable interest among American youth of the 60s, not so much its medicinal values, its taste than for its imbibatoires faculties. Generally associated with water absorption of Melissa, those little white squares also proved very convenient to collect a few drops of lysergic acid diethylamide, highly prized concoction of psychedelic generation, and better known by the initials LSD
France, which likes the trips to la mode de Caen, proved much more reserved towards this product deemed harmful to the neurons of its consumers, and remained quietly in the traditional cultivation of hemp and opium poppy. Belgium, home of the traditional brown sugar, tried to mix the mixture to brown sugar, but did not find the results to his taste (though our friend Valentine confessed recently have enjoyed this substance, it permeated ingeniously small cubes of beet).

Anyway, one thing is for sure is that LSD made him mad - and continue to do so, it was decidedly unfashionable.
The devastation that opera on a multitude of long-haired, bearded beatniks and other, spreading out to a fringe far less expected - because the more conservative - the company : Film producers, marvel at the artistic and financial horizons opened up by this wave acidic.
A new wave cinema halls irrigua district, that of "drug films", designated by the generic term and necessarily Yankees drugsploitation . Indeed, the sub-genre was not so new, since the 30's had already produced quantities of bands withering effects of psychotropic drugs of all kinds.
The best-known title of this new crop of pelloches "amazing" is probably of The Trip Roger Corman where Peter FONDA trying to forget his marital problems by offering a hallucinatory journey not pitched beetles. Transported for the occasion in the series sets the cormanienne Poe, he met a witch, Amazons disguised as medieval knights, a fraternity of necromancers and a grinning dwarf (dwarves are always grinning at the screen, the except the hypocrite Josephine enthusiast smiling moron - Who still looks like a sneer).
Less known in France but much more convincing, Psych-Out (1968) brings together a trio of prestigious offenders Azimuth (or rather of actors specializing in this type of roles): Jack Nicholson , Dean STOCKWELL , and Bruce Dern . Members of a group of psychedelic rock, they help a Susan Strasberg deaf (which is very annoying when you're a groupie rock band) to join his brother junkie mess in the generalized Haight-Ashbury, the hippie neighborhood of San Francisco. Halfway Documentary about the peril of the young and melodrama addict, Psych-Out offers great moments of delirious speed, as when the future filmmaker Henry Jaglom ( Always , Déjà vu ) suddenly starts to "pinball gallery" and feels transported into a film by George Romero . What do you
lourder quickly all your actions Beghin-Say .
