  • Lucio Marcaccini – Roma drogata: la polizia non può intervenire AKA Hallucination Strip (1975)

    1971-1980CrimeItalyLucio FulciThriller

    Lucio Marcaccini’s only film, Hallucination Strip is a psychedelic trip with a social commentary. Bud Cort, in his debut performance, plays Massimo Monaldi, a student involved in political protests and juvenile delinquency. When Massimo steals a valuable tobacco box, he quickly becomes tangled in a dangerous web between the police and the mafia. Culminating in an extended and elaborately choreographed party sequence, underscored with an excellent soundtrack by Albert Verrecchia, Hallucination Strip excels with it’s not-so-subtle mix of sex, drugs, religion, politics and corruption.Read More »

However, it’s also a film about being true to yourself and following your own path.Read More »
