Review of The Trip

The Trip (II) (1967)
6/10
Corman On Acid
3 June 2018
There are many Roger Corman movies that one can think that they were possible to make under influence of drugs, but in this case Roger Corman actually took LSD as a research for 'The Trip'. Cheesy and occasionally (unintentionally) funny, 'The Trip' remains as one of the trippiest movies ever. The film is shallow by story wise - television commercial director (Peter Fonda) decides to drop acid first time and discovers some things about himself. That's it. A guys first acid trip. And then we seem him taking psychedelic road through colorful hallucinations accompanied with experimental rock and jazz music.

'The Trip' is bizarre little film about drug usage. Although there is a warning at the beginning of the film that condemn drugs, but the film itself actually don't give any judgment on the matter. It doesn't have much plot and Peter Fonda still hasn't got his acting game together but the film is still entertaining mostly thanks to its visuals and humor. The high point of the film is when Peter Fonda's character is facing the judge who is played non other than magnificent Dennis Hopper. And all this was written by Jack Nicholson.

Recommended to anyone who like plotless but visually striking movies.
