saw this finally
it has its moments
"Awakening of the Beast" is a deliriously psychedelic nightmare about the
rise of drug use and perversion among the youth of the nation. In a series
of increasingly bizarre vignettes we see all manner of depravity, from a
group of finger-sniffing hippies to a lecherous movie producer seducing a
young starlet. Four drug addicts are chosen out of this group to take part
in an LSD experiment. What follows is the closest thing to real acid trip
ever put on film--but are they under the influence of LSD or Coffin Joe?
Banned by Brazil's military dictatorship for nearly 20 years, it is now
considered by many to be writer-director-star Jose Mojica Marins'
masterpiece.
sure it would be in von Goll's film collection
