He experiences various hallucinations, using a secret medicine obtained from Mexican Indians called "the flower of ancestors." While being driven to the brink mentally, his body itself begins to regress into an ape-like form... The hallucinatory visuals utilizing SFX caused a lot of buzz, making this a unique film. Russell's art-oriented visuals are utilized in the hallucination scenes. Snakes, flowers, burning crosses, and other stimulating images are reproduced. The special effects and composite footage are surprisingly seamless for a 1979 film. Regardless of whether it's a hallucination or reality, the sequence in the second half of the film, where the protagonist, transformed into an ape, wanders the night streets, has the horror of a classic horror film. Especially the action in the night zoo is so shocking that you can't help but laugh nervously. #WilliamHurt #BlairBrown #BobBalaban #KenRussell 【Director】 #SydneyAaron 【Screenplay】 #AlteredStates #ChallengeToTheUnknown #ALTERED_STATES #OutOfPrint #Movie #ForeignFilm #ForeignMovie #Masterpiece #Rare #ExtremelyRare #CD・DVD
