At the Green Man Festival in south Wales, Sunburned Hand Of The Man treated a tentful of lucky devotees to an improvised performance of their soundtrack to this wild experimental classic, rarely seen since it’s initial release. The film itself is indescribable, a nightmarish opiate underworld of Eastern mystical imagery and floating skulls jostling with delirious acid- fuelled floral frolics. The final sequence, a series of Mylar reflections moving like icebergs across the screen, is unlike anything else in cinema. At 20 minutes the whole experience was frustratingly short but extraordinarily vivid- a psychedelic rollercoaster.
