There is a whole subgenre of films about psychedelic drugs and their discontents. Almost all of these films are laughable nonsense, made with the collaboration of police agencies and other unfun people. For THE TRIP, Roger Corman took LSD, had a great time, and set out to depict the experience respectfully. It’s a remarkable film, funny and perceptive. Peter Fonda plays the tripper, with Bruce Dern as his bearded, professorial guide. One of the best movies of the ’60s.
