What a weird, acid trip of a movie

I saw this about four hours after coming out of surgery, with a belly full of Percocet, and in so much pain I couldn't roll over, so I watched the whole thing sideways.

It was one of the most beautiful experiences of my entire life. Definitely cemented my love for Bahbrah, and gave me a taste for Yves Montand that I just can't seem to shake, even though he mostly sucks. And the visuals were simply incredible.

It is very clear that this plot was based on the book and controversy surrounding the book, "The Search for Bridey Murphy" that was published in 1956. Here is a brief synopsis:

The case of Bridey Murphy brought broad attention to the notions of past lives, reincarnation and the use of hypnotic regression to reveal hidden memories. In 1952 Virginia Tighe, the wife of a Colorado businessman, was hypnotized by Morey Bernstein. During her sessions she gave a detailed account of the life of an Irish woman named Bridey Murphy, claiming she had been born in 1798 and died in 1864. Bernstein recorded the sessions and published the story in 1956 (in the book Tighe was referred to as "Ruth Simmons"). The Search for Bridey Murphy became a bestseller (and was made into a movie) and many people took the tale as proof of reincarnation. Tighe, who claimed she'd never been to Ireland, had provided an abundance of commonplace details of life in 19th century Ireland, and parts of her story checked out and others didn't. A Chicago newspaper made the claim that Virginia Tighe had lived across the street from an Irish woman named Bridey Murphy Corkell when she was a child, causing many to dismiss Bernstein and Tighe as frauds. That explanation has proven to be unsatisfactory for many people, and the Bridey Murphy case continues to be a classic headscratcher for those who study the paranormal.

Well maybe the scriptwriter was on drugs then. I would have loved to be in on the pitch meeting for this film. It's one of the more bizarre stories I've encountered in cinema.

True. I think maybe it was the person who thought up the red cloud montage that was on drugs. That’s all. I did enjoy the movie, and I was surprised to find online what were largely negative reviews. Barbra did a great job. I think the only parts I disliked were the scenes in which she and Robert Tentrees stared longily at each other.

He said it's all in your head, and I said, so's everything--
But he didnt get it.
