LSD 1915s style

The Madness of Dr. Tube (1915)

Directed by Abel Gance this film stars Albert Dieudonne as the title character. With the help of his assistant a scientist invents a powder that works like LSD and tests it on people.

This is a pretty simple film with a basic plot. There is a some what silly look at the world of drugs from an era long before we fully understood the problems that come with them. While the on screen antics are enjoyable they are not really remarkable or memorable.


3/5
