The Substance: Albert Hofmann's LSD (2011)
A real eye opener
By chance I came across this movie on TV today and must say that it truly is an eye opening experience.
Not only does the substance increases your awareness as such but this movie makes you aware how absurd in retrospect step by step a whole generation was impacted by a coincidence.
The movie is extremely well crafted. A first rate documentary which is as mentioned eye opening.
Fantastic editing, music and speed.... A historical movie about a special time...
It accurately describes how from the lab it arrived at the streets in quantities which today seem hard to believe. For someone who is now about 40 and was too young to have lived the 50ies and 60ies it enables to understand the psychedelic and Hippie movement. By the editing and the intense interviews you do have a feeling of actually reliving the times. The Director has truly shown sensitivity and also a certain pragmatism which makes this movie very pleasurable and entertaining.
