WEED

About This Movie

So, 'Weed' is one of those fascinating 70s docs that really immerses you in the psychedelic atmosphere of its time. Directed by Brian Kellman, it’s more than just an anti-drug piece; it’s a veritable time capsule of counterculture. The film mixes time-lapse photography, animations by Paul Fierlinger, and some striking montages that bring a surreal edge to its message. You get this almost educational vibe, but it’s not dry at all—there's a frenetic pace that keeps you engaged. The dramatized segments intertwine with actual footage, creating this odd blend of reality and fiction. It’s distinctive for its artistic approach to a serious topic, and it definitely reflects the anxieties and attitudes of the early 70s.
