Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
Amphetamines: Case Study (1969) is another anti-drug short film about amphetamines (I actually agree with this film, speed is some nasty stuff) that's about some young guy who becomes strung out on diet pills. He picked up a bottle of amphetamines to try and lose weight. Pretty soon he was abusing the pills and popping them like candy. Whilst under the influence of "amps", he thought he could do a lot of things like fix radios and other appliances. He was taking stuff apart even though he knew nothing about repairing radios. We he comes down, he realizes that he broke all of his things.Not only can speed give you one hell of a heart attack, it can also melt your brain! Call it what you want, it's all the same with similar side-effects.Recommended because it's true!
