After a bevissthetsutfoldende experience in Mexico, he is in fact the trail of the origin of humanity and truth in general. Using sanseberøvning in combination with increasing hallucinogens, he explores altered states of consciousness subway in an isolation tank. After a while, the experiment of wood and stone, in a way that makes "madness to emerge as a relief." "A methodically paced fireworks display, exploding into delirious special-effects sequences at regular intervals, and Maintaining an eerie calm on the rest of the hour. If it is not wholly visionary at every Juncture, it is at least dependably - even exhilaratingly - bizarre. Its strangeness, wooden borders cheerfully on the ridiculous, is its most enjoyable feature. "- New York Times
"This one has everything: sex, violence, comedy, thrills, tenderness. It's an anthology and apotheosis of American pop movies. It opens at fever pitch and then starts soaring-into genetic fantasy, into a precognitive dream of delirium and delight. "- Time Magazine Wednesday 23 November. 19, Eatery, Helmet Gate 3, Oslo
