Thread devoted to personal dissolution and reconstitution via film. These are films that provided the listicle-maker axis to change direction, or expand sense of how things fit together and rationalize that fatalism really does work!
I do entreat readers of this thread to insert their own "operations" into the mix, or even research what the operation portends itself as.
!> The Holy Mountain (1973)
Jodo, Jodo, Jodo. Let us not forget that some dialects of Spanish utilize the reflexive joderse as means of saying you've messed something up real good. That would mean this artiste's nickname is "I Fuck", which starts us off with a nice recall to the the thread's title, no? This film is quite the mind bender. A surfeit of odd, and this is important: esoteric, ideas and transgressions-on-purpose to excite a human mind beyond its ken.
!> Belladonna of Sadness (1973)
Where we previously visited the summit of knowledge, now must we visit the pit of our fears - I recently, though mutedly, raved about this amazing film in the Last Movie Watched Thread. It will twist you into a Gordian knot where you can see how you got bound up but have no means of self-extrication, unless you summon...
!> The Devils (1971)
Ken Russell's committed comment on Huxleyian political philosophizing. A real ugly treat for the eyes that will mean something at some time (I'm hoping).
!> Altered States (1980)
Ken visits America. Ken goes double-down less than a decade later to push past demons into the light of self-change through better chemistry and powerful love. Also, we reviewed it here as a monthly Film Club, but no one got all excited beyond a few comments between myself and Post-Lupin and the Film Club died due to lack of attention. You gotta an ayahuasca urge? Maybe watch this first. Lest ye....
!> Enter The Void (2009)
Psychic inheritor to Jodorowsky by rite of origin continent, Noe blasts through the Tibetan Book of The Dead with surprising insights that reveal to the viewer that life's one long trip; where remembering is half the fun.
!> Nostalghia (1983)
Tarkovsky bounds into, for me, successful telepathy on this one. See it to communicate directly with his spirit. Not kidding.
