This week on the Film at Lincoln Center podcast we’re featuring a conversation between filmmakers Errol Morris and Frederick Wiseman on Morris’ new documentary My Psychedelic Love Story.
Told through the lens of Joanna Harcourt-Smith, Timothy Leary’s lover, the film examines the possible CIA conspiracy and fascinating love story as Leary, the High Priest of LSD, seemingly sells out and becomes a narc in 1974. Through a series of candid interviews, Morris and Harcourt-Smith reexamine this chaotic period, resulting in a singular snapshot of the early 1970s’ cultural landscape and its profound impact on the trajectory of one woman’s life.
My Psychedelic Love Story is now available digitally, courtesy of Showtime.
