Ero in giro alla ricerca di dvd quando mi è eye fell on "Altered States," the 1980 film that has not seen much from a couple of geological ages.

begin by quoting what is written on the DVD: Dr. Jessup floats in the basement of a medical school in total darkness. The most terrifying experiment in the history of science is out of hand ... and scientist and guinea pig are the same person.

said, "Altered States" is a film about the pursuit of scientific truth, and the price you are willing to pay to get to discover it.

I think it is a small masterpiece that has suffered a bit 'of the passing of time - the special effects are light years away from those of today - but that is always a pleasure to see. Perhaps with a nice big TV and a good sound system.

be noted that William Hurt was his first film - and the class did not lack for sure - and that Drew Barrymore was six years old and was in his second film - the year after he made ET.

I highly recommend it.


Here's the trailer:
