It's So Far Out, It's Straight Down!

About This Movie

So, 'It's So Far Out, It's Straight Down!' feels like a time capsule, really. Capturing the raw energy of London's counter-culture scene in '67, it's peppered with live footage of Pink Floyd, which is pretty captivating, especially when they're jamming 'Interstellar Overdrive' at the UFO club. The grainy visuals and the vibrant yet chaotic atmosphere perfectly encapsulate that period of experimentation and rebellion. There's something almost hypnotic about the pacing; it's not rushed and allows you to soak in the vibes. And hearing 'Percy the Ratcatcher' in the mix adds a nice layer of authenticity. Overall, it’s a unique slice of history that resonates with anyone interested in the roots of psychedelic music and culture.

This film has a bit of a cult following among collectors, mainly due to the elusive nature of its early screenings and the unique documentation of the 1967 counter-culture. There aren't many formats available, and original prints are rare, which adds to its intrigue. Collectors tend to appreciate the historical context and the vibrant visual style that pairs well with the era's music, especially fans of psychedelic rock.
