robinjhughes0 Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Hi Can anyone identify a film with the follwoing plot: A guy goes to a trance party in the tropics (probably Goa), and takes some drugs. He then goes on a trip, searching for his father, on a beautifully shot imaginary journey during which he encounters many different characters. The final scene of the film reveals what really happened: he was actually just stumbling around at the trance party, and all the people he met on his journey (trip) were in reality people he bumped into at the rave. The soundtrack to the film included trance classics from the likes of The Man With No Name, etc. i.e. music from the mid nineties onwards. The film was shown at the Solipse festival in 2001, in Zambia. Sadly I didn't manage to get any details about it. I'd love to see it again, it was something special! Can anyone help!?

Lemmiwinks Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 hey man I didn't know such a movie existed!! are you sure it was released or was it some sort of private production by the party organizers? I'm surprised cause normally I know ALL the psytrance-related movies out there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinjhughes0 Posted October 7, 2004 Author Share Posted October 7, 2004 Thanks for replying. I don't know if it was commercially released, but it was certainly a (semi) professional production - it was beautifully shot, and the list of credits at the end was quite long. If only I could remember some of the names! I do remember that at the end of the film it said that the lead actress died in an accident after they finished filming. Does anyone know who did the cinema stage for the Solipse 2001 festival? I emailed solipse a year ago but they didn't reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmiwinks Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 well here is one that comes close, in Last Hippie Standing is a documentary on the psytrance Scene in Goa. At the end of the movie there is indeed a part where they say that a girl from the film (Cleo something) died shortly afterwards, I think from cancer. However the plot is WAY off from what you described... This is certainly not the movie you describe unless you were REALLY high and didn't really get the movie...

Guest Rain Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 I'm surprised cause normally I know ALL the psytrance-related movies out there... 198938[/snapback] I own a movie called 'total love' with herman van brood' acting... the leading man and his friends are from tel aviv and also have to go to goa in Inida to search a girl and sell drugs they invented themself... so it is also not the movie that robinjhughes0 is searching for...

robinjhughes0 Posted October 8, 2004 Author Share Posted October 8, 2004 Thanks for the information people - I'll get those movies and have a look - they both sound interesting even if they aren't what I'm after.... I know at least one other person who saw the film at the festival, so there is a reasonable chance my memory is vaguely OK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathmandu Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 I haven't watched it but I'm sure its the movie 'BIG FISH.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinjhughes0 Posted October 17, 2004 Author Share Posted October 17, 2004 Thanks kathmandu, but Big Fish (Sony pictures 2003) isn't the right movie either (although the plot does revolve around a father and son). Or is there another Big Fish? I've remembered another scene from the mistery film: During the imaginary journey, there is a small sailing ship, "pirate" style, captained solo by a shirtless old man of the sea type who juggles with his knifes. At the end of the film, when the reality is revealed, we see this man again - he is a juggler at the rave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
