Summary
About the film
Ken Russell’s 1980 film follows a researcher whose self-experiments pursue the outer limits of consciousness through psychedelic and technological imagery. It is a cyberdelic-adjacent cultural reference: it depicts altered states and mind-manifesting technology in fiction, rather than functioning as a cyberdelic experience itself.
