A movie that's so bad, it's bad

A movie that's so bad, it's bad - just a pointless series of bummer after bummer. Sitting on the shelf for another 30 years wouldn't make it any better.

Should have stayed "lost"

There are myriad hippie zeitgeist films from the late '60s and early '70s that vary widely in quality and originality. This is one of the worst. The star actor has no charisma, the nonlinear storytelling is not effective, the moral commentary is trite, the scenes about racial justice seem randomly inserted, the female love interest is underdeveloped (considering the protagonist is a priest), and it's not even a road movie-- it's a driving-around movie.

Decent obscurity from 1971

Actually filmed in 1971 for theatrical release, this is a late-60s time capsule of counter-cultural themes. It shares some traits with EASY RIDER, being a "road movie" with a graphically depicted acid trip, a cemetery seen through a distorting lens, hippie communes, drugs, and evil murderous rednecks. There's a familiar-sounding (obligatory) rock music soundtrack. The main character is a priest who "drops out" and hits the road to find himself, or get away from it all, or something like that. ELECTRIC SHADES OF GREY (the title) refers to moral & ethical ambiguities that complicate our lives and undercut easy idealism and efforts to be "good." The priest resolves his personal crisis in a surprise (?) ending that reinforces the theme of ambiguity.
