Researcher Edward Jessup experiments with hallucinogens. Immersed in his own fantasies during a dizzying quest for identity, he will emerge from this world completely transformed.

Altered States... a title that could describe any of Ken Russell’s films. Aesthetically straddling the late ’70s and the coming ’80s, this is one of his most exciting films. Presented by director Nicolas Boukhrief as part of his annual “carte blanche.”
