If history can be psychedelic it is Adam Curtis that makes it so. The big master of historical narrative, montage, jump cuts, and archival materials was back this year with a new masterpiece exploring everything that went wrong with the world since 1945 and why it did so. Ambitious, pretentious, and exceptionally beautiful and moving – if you haven’t watched it, you definitely should.

If you haven’t yet watched Errol Morris’s My Psychedelic Love Story you really should. Morris retells the extraordinary story of Timothy Leary’s 1970s adventures from the perspective of Leary’s onetime cosmic lover Johanna Harcourt Smith. A visual feast and a delightful psychedelic thriller.
