Psychedelic Films List

[Filthy Rich]

I buy films from a film collector guy. I asked him for psychedelic films and these are what he said

Re: dreamlike or psychedelic films, I can't recall what I've already sent, but off the top of my head I'd suggest the following: Gábor Bódy's Nárcisz és Psyché, Patrick Bokanowski's L'Ange, Luigi Bazzoni's La donna del lago and Le orme, any of Carmelo Bene's films, Jiri Svoboda's The Invisible, Mariusz Gregorzek's Krolowa aniolow, Aleksandr Kajdanovsky's A Simple Death, Matthias Müller's films (especially The Memo Book, Alpsee and Pensao Globo) and Olivier Smolders' Nuit Noire (along with his short films). Also possibly of interest are Philippe Grandrieux's films (especially Las), Piotr Dumala's films (particularly his live-action work Las/The Forest), Aleksandr Rogozhkin's Karaul, most of Wojciech Has's films, Francisco Athié's Vera, Tadeusz Junak's Palac, Juraj Herz's Pasaz, Jean-Pierre Mocky's Litan, Claude Chabrol's Alice ou la dernière fugue and most of Robbe-Grillet and much of Raoul Ruiz.

Anyone know anything about any of those? Would be grateful of tips as to what I should choose.

Did I lend you Nuit Noire in the end? That's a great film but pretty much all of I've heard it. I saw your copies of the Gabor Body and Claude Chabrol but that's it, beyond Herz, Robbe-Grillet and Ruiz.

Interview with Herz here: http://www.kinoeye.org/02/01/kosulicova01.php

... which I found by googling his name and the film.

I'm intrigued but unable to contribute in any useful manner.

Having looked into a lot of these in the past few days it seems like a very interesting but fairly highbrow and po-faced list… i like my dreamlike vibes to come from ultra low-budget/homemade gear!

[Filthy Rich]

Yeah they will be art house kinda bits as a rule. I like both high-brow and low-brow to be honest - it's middle-brow I struggle with if it exists.

[eclipsechaser]

did I never lend you "un chien andalou"?

[Filthy Rich]

Nah but I've seen it several times. I think Dan even shows it to his students and I would too. Only problem is, I teach maths.

Fun list Quidtum , only seen around 20 of them - few I haven't heard of too, so will look into them
.... Though ZETA ONE is neither psychedelic nor dreamlike nor any good!

I score 14

I was thinking about that Bava film recently - need to watch it again.

[emperor tomato ketchup]

Good list, includes a fair number of fairly well known and mainstream ones but also plenty of interesting stuff. And some I have lined up to watch. I have bought the Harry Novak collection vol. 2 (with Notorious Cleopatra and Toy Box) recently. Novak's Mantis In Lace looks great too but sadly isn't included.

Touchables and Femina Ridens are favourites from that list.

[Striker]

most of Wojciech Has's films.

Mr Bongo put out Saragossa Manuscript & Hourglass Sanitarium on DVD both are great films though I wouldn't necessarily file SM in psychedelic, while it has elements of that there's much more to it & has a great intricate structure to it, HS is like an excellent bleak nightmare. Probably pick them up cheap & easy now.
