Opium: Diary of a Madwoman

Joriah Goad

A sadonightmare of withdrawal suffocations; diseased depictions of soul death humanism; the cinematic equivalent of Titicut Follies reimagined into The Story of O + Artaud's final works, his deep space coma scribes Watchfiends and Rack Screams + Baudelaire's Artificial Paradises + Russian Ark + The Sacrifice. Not an easy experience to endure, but nonetheless a contribution to cinema's inhabitable anthropology.
