Brief thoughts on the trippy John Lilly and the Earth Coincidence Control Office (2025) which opens tomorrow


The life and career of scientist John Lilly  who map the mind and changed the way we see the world. 

This is a trippy documentary that mixes low key narration, seemingly unconnected images and archival footage to create a film that plays like plays like the work of Craig Baldwin (TRIBULATION 99 among others). 

Its a narrative film that has a psudeoscience feel. That's not a knock more a statement as to why I suspect that some people may not click with it. 

I like the film, though think that some of the clips of Lilly kind of break the spell that the narration and seeming non sequitur images creates
