Altered States

When I was 15 years old I saw a movie by Ken Russell called Altered States, and I loved it very much. It was about consciousness, the self, and trying to go back to the origins of the human mind. The visuals were outstanding and crazy.

The first scene that came to mind was from Ken Russell’s Altered States, which is a kind of trippy movie about a scientist trying to find an alternate state of mind using drugs and sensory deprivation. And I was like, “Oh, this is a great start.”
