the cinema of the 60 be as much a time of revolution a the politics and the music . filmmaker be dare to make avant garde film discuss taboo subject only permit before in exploitation film . start with both breathless and underground american cinema ( such a kenneth anger ) and film become more and more experimental . all of this accumulate when hollywood realize they have mass commercial appeal with easy rider . one of the best ( and most surprising ) output of this era be also one of the least successful initially . head be make when the monkees career be seriously wan and which be what damn one of the best psychedelic film ever make . the plot . well and there really isn not one and a many have say . it involve the monkees go from one surreal scenario to the next one . however and these sequence be all obviously lsd ting and basically mock how the monkees be sick of be confine to their light pre fab reputation . it a shame that the film find no audience . the teeny boppers who love them have move onto a new fad a they always do . the psychedelic or haight ashbury crowd to whom the film be garner would never be catch dead at a monkees movie . it all their loss . this film may be plot less and but it be certainly not without meaning and be very intelligently put together . the crew later make both easy rider and five easy piece . the film be later revive at a 1973 raybert retrospective and it gain a very positive response and which grant it the cult follow it have deserve for a long time . ironically and the monkees would fall victim to the same commercialism they protest in this film with their late 80 reunion . ( positive ) .
