How To Operate Your Brain

About This Movie

So, 'How To Operate Your Brain' is this interesting little documentary from '94 that's really more of a guided meditation with a twist. It clocks in at about 29 minutes, and it's mainly Dr. Leary talking over some electronic soundscapes, which gives it this very unique atmosphere. The pacing is a bit slow, but I think that works for what it’s trying to achieve. The film feels like a deep dive into the mind, almost like a trip in itself without the substances. Leary touches on his LSD experiences, sharing insights that kind of float in and out, which adds to the meditative quality. It's not your standard documentary by any means, and that makes it stand out.
