Having foreshadowed the mystery to come, the show spends much of the season presenting us with suspects for a crime that hasn't happened yet, and that isn't always an exciting process — without the romantic, hallucinatory charge of Abbott's prose, the plot machinery can get a little obtrusive.
However, the LSD blotter paper on its broken screen (a detail only discernible up close) renders a tenuous narrative of drug scores and hallucinatory states, while the red glow calls up images ranging from a stoplight to a laser light show to the sight on a handgun.
Romero's Dreamland is not just an empty-minded satire of "La-La Land," but a strangely hallucinatory world of both love and violence, a landscape wherein you never can quite be sure where you are actually going — or even if you might ever arrive at your destination.
By far the best reason to watch Mad Dogs is the way that it turns its version of Belize into a hallucinatory hellscape, all without unnecessarily demonizing the actual people of Belize (outside of maybe the ninth episode, which makes them all seem like criminals or crazy homeless people).
This epic is unlike any other I've read—it will get under your skin as it drives you towards the deepest reaches of space, asking the too-often unasked questions about such journeys: questions of ego, of experience, of what then constitutes as hallucinatory, from beyond it all.
There's a feverish air to "Dietland," emphasized by its hallucinatory imagery, be it Plum imagining a man-tiger lover while weaning herself from antidepressant medication or the materialization of a laughing, applauding studio audience in a cafe when Plum meets with a radicalized former sitcom star (Alanna Ubach).
The result is a kind of hallucinatory swirl of night sky, cypress trees, and wallpapers in the background, with a foreground of characters van Gogh once painted, everyone from Doctor Paul Gachet to paint supplier Père Tanguy, all of them painstakingly recreated as the artist once perceived them.
"  The L.A. Times' Justin Chang on this "hallucinatory Razzie-courting mayhem": "Given how often the movies tend to stereotype felines as smug, pampered homebodies, there are certainly worse characters one could spend time with, though I am hard-pressed at the moment to think of many worse movies.
But even if you don't believe the casting of Slate as a hopelessly romantic Pomeranian is perfection, or don't appreciate the sublime insanity of the film's hallucinatory sausage dream, The Secret Life of Pets' ambition to tell the stories it dares to tell, even the dark ones, is admirable.
According to a study published in Lancet Psychiatry in September 2017–the largest randomized trial of a psychological intervention to date–insomniacs who underwent a ten-week course of cognitive behavioral therapy to address their sleep problems showed sustained reductions in paranoia and hallucinatory experiences as a result.
I always assumed that Bosch chose this theme because it gave him a chance to paint his beloved little monsters, but learning about St. Anthony's Fire puts a new spin on it: Could it be that Bosch was also depicting the hallucinatory terrors of the disease's sufferers, perhaps described to him?
Not only is there the twist, but the author plays a cruel joke on poor Peyton Farquhar: his hallucinatory dash to freedom and his wife's tender embrace end with a stunning blow on the back of his neck—the rope is still there, after all—and then he is dead.
Luke Murphy's "Every Pixel Bright" is a twilight garden of blinking and glowing geometric sculptures constructed from LED matrix panels, while Shana Moulton's "Whispering Pines 10: Phase 1," a collaboration with the composer Nick Hallett, is the latest in a series of hallucinatory videos Ms. Moulton has been making since 2002.
In a statement, Carla Hayden, the Librarian of Congress, praised the "profound empathy" of Mr. Johnson's work, which includes the short story collection "Jesus' Son," inspired in part by his own experiences with addiction, and "Tree of Smoke," a sprawling, hallucinatory novel about Vietnam that won the 2007 National Book Award.
Some of these medicines have single-handedly eradicated illnesses that have plagued humanity from the dawn of time; some have made chronic conditions at least somewhat more tolerable; others have plunged people into sleepless hallucinatory hell-worlds from which no amount of therapy (or lawsuit money) could ever save them.
Her first play, the anguished and surreal "Funnyhouse of a Negro," won an Obie award in 1964; so did the misty "June and Jean in Concert" and the hallucinatory "Sleep Deprivation Chamber," written with Adam Kennedy, which debuted as part of the Signature Theater's yearlong exploration of her work in 1996.
The song lends itself well for the visual, a totally weird and hallucinatory ride that mixes together animated versions of the band with a variety of other fitting images and sights, including a giant blue mouth that turns into a guitar, beefy dudes squatting and dancing, and some good ol' stage diving.
"Fog, drizzle and snow sank unchanged through the islands of reddish streetlights, as though even the weather were a mere expression of stagnation and the past," the narrator observes of a return to his birthplace in "The Afternoon," a hallucinatory blend of present and past that evokes the luminous prose of W.G. Sebald.
In his latest audiovisual work, Versum, featuring Lea Fabrikant, which recently debuted at Sónar Festival's +D program, Barri took a mesmerized crowd deep into a hallucinatory 3D world by collectively flying them through abstract, shimmering, and colorful visuals that mirrored, when paired with evolving, ambient sounds, the effect of a psychedelic trip.
ZULEIKHA By Guzel Yakhina Whenever I have taught Andrei Platonov's hallucinatory masterpiece, "Soul," a novella about the Soviet expansion into Central Asia, I've noticed that many of my otherwise knowledgeable undergraduates have only a vague idea of what happened in Eastern Europe between the Russian Revolution and the 1980s liberalizations of Glasnost.
Yet none of his paintings had prepared me for the hallucinatory strangeness of the real thing: a place that inverts geological time, where the ground underfoot is younger than the orphaned church spires rising above it, where a mountain — an immovable part of any ordinary landscape — is only a few decades old.
Comfort is benevolently ruled by a man known as the Dream (a mustachioed Keanu Reeves), who gives its residents hallucinatory drugs and says things like, "To Enter the Dream, You Must Let the Dream Enter You" (it's impossible to imagine him uttering such a phrase in any other way than in sentence caps).
This finely cast production's heightened, sometimes hallucinatory feel (aided by Megan Lang's lighting and Kathy Ruvuna's sound design) is of a piece with the logical insanity of the world these students inhabit, where blackness and femaleness are enduringly alien to white men like TJ, with his sorghum-sweet accent and entrenched entitlement.
Some of Balke's best large paintings may have come in the late 1840s, suggested by the hallucinatory "Seascape," in which a crown of mountains seems to float above land, sea and clouds like a vision, and "The North Cape in the Moonlight" — a gentler, larger, earlier version of the show's first painting.
It's pretty all over the place—vaulting from hallucinatory sound poetry (AGF's "QI'RA") to noise tracks made from television preachers (Bob Bellerue's "Full Armor of God") to technoid mutations (Gaul Plus' "World Diva") to jittery drum explorations (Speaker Music's "Rhythmanalysis") and a whole lot of other universes in the course of its 40 tracks.
For instance, Gustave Flaubert's novel The Temptation of Saint Anthony, contains not only hallucinatory imagery congruent with the effects of ergot alkaloids, but also contains in the opening passage of the novel a clear symbol of a known cause of ergot poisoning: a description of a loaf of black bread inside the hermit saint's cabin.
The characters—an earnest woman who wants to save her people, a larger-than-life shaman who sends you on hallucinatory spiritual journeys—are lifted from previous Far Cry games, and everything you do here you've done a thousand times before: You find resources, spend them on upgrades, and complete missions and side-quests.
" Finalists: Jake May, The Flint Journal | Katie Falkenberg, The Los Angeles Times __________ FICTION Colson Whitehead, "The Underground Railroad" When he was working on his hallucinatory and chilling novel, which reimagines American slavery, Mr. Whitehead studied works by masters of magical realism, including Toni Morrison's "Beloved" and Gabriel García Márquez's "One Hundred Years of Solitude.
The hallucinatory quality, the elasticity of time in Cheever's story, always made sense to me because it captures what every swimmer both anticipates and dreads — that someday, you will lift your head from the water, and this time, after all the thousands of times before it, the world that reappears before you will not be the one you left.
Not when we read hallucinatory lines like these, as the poet's attention focuses on the "thing […] [still hanging in the air between us:" the molecules of concrete coalescing grain by grain into a corrugated pillar topped by a cloud–a tree form: In the masterful "Blackacre," the book's title poem, Youn reads Milton's famous sonnet on being blind.
Stretched across the fifth-floor gallery of the Breuer, the Vessel Orchestra comprises a hallucinatory intersection of objects—from Persian religious figurines to contemporary ceramics and Deco portrait busts—and offers a set of pure tones that, pealing out from thousands of years of vessel silence, have enticed many composers, including Nico Muhly , to write music for it.
However, give Neumann credit: stories may have made him sound like a pot-smoking surfer dude who lived in a hallucinatory fantasyland, but — unlike his employees, whose dreams of IPO wealth were suddenly and completely shattered — he managed to walk away from the business he drove nearly into the ground with a reported $1.7 billion windfall.
As can be seen through the work included in Metrograph's current retrospective of the director's work — part one of the series ends today; the second part begins in November — the revolutionary hope quickly turned to disenchantment, and the political foundation of his work was buried under hallucinatory metaphor and, later, a turn toward poetic autobiography that continues in slightly altered form today.
She has a good ear for talk, and a fine eye for detail; at one point she makes the slightly hallucinatory discovery that the recently elected Brooklyn D.A., Eric Gonzalez, chose his career path after reading Tom Wolfe's " The Bonfire of the Vanities " as a teen-ager—not an obvious book to point someone on a path toward public service.
The effect is made all the more hallucinatory by the fact that these horrors took place not in Poland or Algeria but in what are now, in effect, rest stops along I-95, in Connecticut and New Jersey, in a time we still think of as all three-cornered hats and the clip-clop of Hollywood equipages on cobblestoned streets.
Visionary scientific minds, including the theoretical physicists Stephen Hawking and Kip Thorne, have devoted entire books to unpacking the hallucinatory scenarios thought to be induced by black holes' gravitational forces—imagine the bottom of your body violently wrenched away from the top, physically stretching you like a Looney Tunes character, a scenario that Thorne's Black Holes and Time Warps paints in stomach-churning detail.
More than any sub-genre of R&B I'm aware of, the album shares a sensibility with meditative, pop-garbled works of electronic surrealism like Playboi Carti's Die Lit or Haruru Inu Love Dog Tenshi's Lost Lost Dust Dream (compare that album's "Shindo" to Solange's "Sound of Rain"), in which beats and hooks typically found in pop-conventional contexts are cut up into a hallucinatory reverie.
For a week, he and I would be unable to enjoy one another's company while watching streaming and OnDemand TV programming in stunning 19503K resolution, which made me realize the majority of our free time is spent enjoying one another's company while watching streaming and OnDemand TV programming in stunning 4K resolution, the picture quality of which is sometimes so crisply detailed it borders on hallucinatory.
"Cats" the movie features prestigious performers from stage, screen, music and dance — including Jennifer Hudson, Sir Ian McKellen, Dame Judi Dench, Idris Elba, Rebel Wilson, James Corden and ballerina Francesca Hayward — all tricked out in digitally generated fur that is simultaneously so lifelike and so creepily hallucinatory that the cast looks like a colony of feral felines who have taken up permanent residence in the uncanny valley.
This quasi-hallucinatory, disco inferno-ish climax is multi-layered and ambiguous enough to accommodate multiple interpretations; it's a mother's worst nightmare, a vision of the contemporary world coming apart while the oblivious masses treat it as the ultimate party, a view of primitive hedonism trumping educated civilization, the destructive mob prevailing over the constructive individual, all perhaps an intuitive sign of the times as envisioned by Aronofsky.
He covers all the major twists and turns of the Maoist regime up to 1989, providing learned, witty digressions on a host of topics from the importance of banquet scenes in Peking opera to what Fang calls the "hallucinatory megalomania in Communist culture," though he readily admits that, like many Chinese intellectuals, he was for years a true believer in Chinese socialism and the greatness of the Chairman.
While the video evokes a hallucinatory Neo-Tokyo that's been well-represented in anime and film, the work as presented in the exhibition ironically seems to be as much about showing off the high-definition capabilities of the Toshiba flat-screen TV displaying the video as it is about representing a society made entirely of spectacle and devoid of people (Toshiba is listed as a sponsor on the artwork's wall text).
Certainly for most sensible secular scientific-minded people, to say that our era's close encounters are of the same type as encounters with the unseelie court of faerie is to say that they are all equally imaginary, proceeding from internalized fancies and hallucinatory substances and late-night wrong turns, plus some common evolved subconscious that fears shape-shifting tricksters in modern Nevada no less than in the mists around Ben Bulben.
Whether it's the representation of BoJack's mother's dementia (S4 E11), in which faces are blurred out or scribbled over; the hallucinatory violence of a particularly heavy drug bender (S1 E11); or an opioid-induced breakdown that causes BoJack to confuse his reality with scenes from the TV show he's shooting (S5 E11), animation is consistently experimented with to simulate experiences and emotions that the viewer may or may not have reference points for.
The film he made instead, I Am Cuba (1964), was a hallucinatory, freewheeling work of communist kitsch, a pastiche of Soviet and Cuban symbolism that tried to combine camp and revolution; a sprawling story whose narratives never quite run together, all shot with a gravity-defying, always-on-the-move, "emotional" camera; a cinephile's wet dream, the film about which Werner Herzog once said anyone who hadn't seen it didn't deserve to be a cinematographer.
In the company of Saul Steinberg, a simple Italian restaurant on Sullivan Street could feel as gravely melancholy and precisely ordered as one of his drawings, while a day spent with Bruce McCall has a hallucinatory atmosphere in which everything in Manhattan seems to have been transplanted from a midsize Canadian city in the nineteen-fifties—to the point that he seems able to find parking spaces at will, as if carrying them in his Torontonian pocket.
" He dissects an elite whose privileges the masses would kill for — a former tennis star who wonders whether he really exists; a banker turned filmmaker undone by desire; a midlife divorcée starved of and repulsed by human connection — with a language both hallucinatory and philosophical: "We live to validate for one another the insane pretext that this is normal and right, and what are we all searching for but some moment when the world's gaze falls on our gross, petty lives and says, How special.
So why not—you ponder, as you eye a ziplock baggie of mushroom dust leftover from summer, or the four hits of blotter you keep in a cheap matryoshka doll you bought at the International Pavilion at the Ex—travel inside, exploring crags and crannies of your own consciousness, surveying the vast, ever-shifting metaphysical landscapes that reveal themselves, as your ego dissolves and you float, freely, through a hallucinatory frolic, traversing what the late psychedelic researcher Dr. Sidney Cohen called "the beyond within"?
As confetti and the flaccid remains of balloons are swept from the floor of the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, as the delegates wake up groggy in their hotels from a four-day bender of hallucinatory political theater, as the echoes of Donald Trump's words—"I am your voice"—linger in our collective consciousness like a bad dream, we are left to grope, through a growing fog of shame and regret, for an answer to the age-old question that accompanies any serious hangover: What in the hell just happened?
Mr. McGuire, who is a founder and a director of the University of Manchester's Center for New Writing, in England, hasn't written a postmodern or self-consciously literary novel here; rather, he's exhaled his knowledge of literature into a gripping thriller that pulses with echoes of countless classics, from Melville's "Moby-Dick" (an ill-fated whaling expedition, a fascination with evil and the destructive element in nature and in man) to Poe's "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket" (a hallucinatory journey to the South Pole, where extremes of weather fuel existential questions of identity and death).
