In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Chappaqua (1966)
An experimental film by Conrad Rooks.
A man goes to a French clinic because he has problems with drugs.
The audio and video were a mess.
I said I wanted to see a "psychedelic spiritual quest", not a "psychedelic spiritual mess"! This film was totally incoherent, but there were some pretty sights and sounds involved. Unfortunately, they weren't beautiful enough to save it from getting a bad review.
