Where can you find Sean Connery dressed in a loincloth, a giant flying stone head that spouts NRA rhetoric from one side of its mouth, and denounces unprotected sex from the other, and a commune filled with people who are so bored with life that they have given up on enjoying anything at all? The Seventies baby, the Seventies.
Something to watch for:
50 mins – Between the perms and the half-tops, I cannot tell the difference between men and women. I haven’t been this confused since Thailand.

This may be the awesomest of all hippie movies. I adore it.

Yep, this film is pure insane goodness. I’ve always felt that this was the best possible way for Connery to distance himself from James Bond. Sure it could never really take entirely but still!

The part about being irresistible to the ladies isn’t very distancing.
(But maybe you just can’t get away from that. There are scenes where you can see some of the actresses getting turned on for real when the action throws them together…)

My favorite part has to be Zed shot putting the one apathetic woman, but there are a lot of amusing sections. Friend fretting over the one Eternal who is convicted of transmitting a bad vibe in the “Second Level” is also a funny bit, and I’d even call it satire.

I’m with Liz when it comes to Boorman; even at worst, he makes very interesting disasters.
