head

'...the tragedy of your time, my young friends, is that you may get exactly what you want.' mmm, so true. this is a still from the 1968 movie 'head,' directed by robert rafelson, and co-written by jack nicholson. its a great movie. i offer only one word of warning to the uneducated: do not expect a plot. (at least, not in the traditional sense.) i remember the first night i screened this movie. it was such an untraditional psychedelic pastiche that it actually caused a rift in the household for a good mmm, 11 hours or so. the musical numbers alone are worth the price of the dvd. it is an effort not ahead of its time, but perfectly in tune with its time. only preconceptions killed it. if you've never seen it, give it an open-minded shot. if you've seen it in the past, see it again with fresh eyes and a faultless stereo system.
