In Reply to: The best drug film ever made? posted by rhizomatic on October 13, 2003 at 13:42:28:
I watched Spun last night.Enjoyed it a great deal.
Allthough I thought the effects of fast motion and shaking heads after each snort got quite annoying after awhile.And,to me,the animation parts semed childish.
I would also reccomend Rush.

I also found the animation bits kind of annoying in practice, but I got what he was going for; the sequences were as ostentatious and vapid as actual hallucinations. That was mostly how I felt about the film, that he did a good job of conveying the substance [sic] of a drug-addled lifestyle, and the various shortcomings of the films (aside from a few shoddy scenes which came down to a not-so-great script and crappy acting, like the entirely unnecessary appearance of the girlfriend towards the end) proceed from that central strength, if that makes sense.Been years since I saw Drugstore Cowboy, but I bet you're probably right. Never have seen Rush, though.
It also has a rather brief but oh so memorable appearance by William Burroughs.There are some more good[or at least memorable] ones. I cheated a bit and mixed in some alcoholic flicks.
