Better Late Then Never
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
This short psychedelic documentary was filmed in January 1967 at one of the events at the beginning of the psychedelic movement. The generic is designed in psychedelic style, music sound is live, and superposed editing is used to enhance the effect of crowd and the atmosphere of dream. I do not know the groups the music belongs to, but I recognized the poet Ginsburg who participated in the event. Seeing this film is in a way like a direct broadcast in a time capsule from the moments and places where the hippie movement started. Forty years afters it stays on like a true capture of that instance, the way the participants felt it.
