The Trip is a genuine one of a kind. The film’s totally off-the-wall anything-goes weirdness is exactly what one might expect when one packs together under one camera such essential 1960s counter-culture cinema names as Roger Corman, Peter Fonda, Bruce Dern, Dennis Hopper, as well as Jack Nicholson (no less!) on script. (Most of the group would reunite two years later for the essential 1960s counter-culture hit Easy Rider [1969]). Some of the psychedelia seems only dated lighting effects today but the rest of The Trip is a wonderful mixture of wild surrealism, cod pretentiousness and undeniable altered consciousness euphoria.
