HOW TO MELT YOUR BRAIN

Of course, you don’t need psychedelic drugs for an altered view of reality (and I think it’s my “journalistic” responsibitily to strongly discourage you from ever trying... nudge nudge wink wink), as there are plenty of great films which can do the trick. To my surprise I found a Wikipedia entry called “Mindfuck,” which is defined as “a slang term which describes a work that uses literary devices such as nonlinear storytelling and plot twists in order to present convoluted, yet not conflicting, themes.” This entry even has a very helpful list of films which fall into the Mindfuck category including a few of my all-time favourites such as Fight Club, Brazil, Blade Runner, Memento, 12 Monkeys, Being John Malkovich, Pi, Twin Peaks (the TV show), and Videodrome.
