Thanks, Pip. It’s for rent on Amazon, so I’ll take a look. 

And THANKS TO EVERYONE for your responses to my query.

Re: [Frameworks] mental problems

[Gisèle Gordon]

One of the most brilliant films I have ever seen in capturing mental
breakdown/hallucination/drug-induced psychosis is DARK ONE by a relatively
unknown video artist, Darryl Miller who worked on it in isolation on a
very old computer for over a decade in his home in Cupar, Saskatchewan,
Canada (population 579).  I only found out about it because I was on a
Canada Council council jury that he had applied to for additional funding.
 I later tracked him down and begged him to let us show it at Hot Docs,
where I was a programmer at the time.

This is the note I wrote about it:
"A drug-addicted poet searches for spiritual redemption as he cooks up
morphine at the kitchen table with his Auschwitz survivor mother and pet
bird. This brilliant, hallucinatory immersion into the psyche of Dan
Biholar, a soul spiralling into oblivion, pushes the medium of the moving
image about as far as it can go. Biholar vacillates between moments of
acute self-awareness, disturbing darkness, tender sentiment, lyrical
inspiration and delusions of grandeur. Award-winning experimental
filmmaker and sound designer Darryl Miller was once in Biholar's shoes.
With unsettling accuracy, Miller sculpts a sensory overload of hypnotic
soundscape and half-melted psychedelic imagery that submerges us in
Biholar's altered states. There is no safe distance from which to observe
this visceral blurring between art, psychosis and reality - let's hope our
sanity returns when the lights come back on."
 
Darryl has put the film online now, below is the link to his channel.  I¹m
sure he would appreciate getting feedback about it:

I suspect there are exponentially more “mental states” movies than there are 
“eulogy” movies (and we’ve seen how many of them are out there), but I’m too 
busy to conjure up all the old/good ones that I know…
but I must mention  Imamura’s  The Pornagraphers.

Re: [Frameworks] mental problems

[Gae Savannah]

Gorgeous breakdown at the end of  Last Year at Marienbad  (Alan Resnais)

The Hole  (Tsai Ming Liang)  very crazy, intense breakdown.

Won Kar Wai  —which one to pick?—most of them have twisted coping methods for 
devastated emotional conditions.

Gus Van SantLast Days  (Cobain)  


I am also digging on childhood trauma theme for an MFA student.
Would appreciate anything on that angle…

I know the request is for features, [just about everything by David Lynch, but 
especially Eraserhead and Mulholland Drive] but there’s lots of recent TV that 
goes into “inner states of mind” with mentally ill protagonists: including 
‘River' [UK] about a haunted, hallucinating detective, the near-Lynchian [if 
Lynch had politics] conspiracy thriller Mr. Robot, and the beyond-Lynch 
weirdness of ‘Legion’ [a Marvel show, believe it or not]. All excellent too, 
IMHO.

Or, really, anything from the Death and the Family exhibit, of which The 
Passing was part.

Friends, I’m seeking recommendations of feature films with scenes that attempt 
to visualize inner states of mind such as breakdowns (Vertigo), nightmares 
(Spellbound), acid trips (Easy Rider) or any other kind of hallucination 
(Altered States). Ecstatic or horrific doesn’t matter. Thanks.

Re: [Frameworks] mental problems

[Fred Camper]

I can't resist -- Otto Preminger's very crazy and widely 
disregarded/Skidoo! /has an acid trip. Supposedly Preminger took acid 
himself in preparation for the film. There's also a very great vision of 
some kind of dissociative insanity near the end of Edgar G. Ulmer's 
/Detour/.


Interestingly, I don't think you'll find much in the greatest mainline 
(i. e. not "derivative") "experimental" or "avant-garde" films, because 
they don't usually start from a basis in quotidian reality.The most 
unusual and "nutty" portion of Bruce Baillie's /Quick Billy /is arguably 
reel four, the imitation Western.
