Head (1968)Synopsis:
Running in from seemingly nowhere, 'Micky Dolenz' (qv), 'Davy Jones (I)' (qv), 'Michael Nesmith' (qv) & 'Peter Tork' (qv) - better known collectively as 'The Monkees' (qv) - disrupt a bridge opening ceremony. From where and why did they come to disrupt the proceedings? They were filming a series of vignettes in several different genres, including a wild west sequence, a desert war sequence, a Confederate war sequence, and a science fiction sequence. They disagree with much of what is happening around them, and try to figure out how to escape the oppression they feel - symbolized by a big black box in which they are seemingly imprisoned - by the forces around. That oppression is often shown in the form of "The Big 'Victor Mature' (qv)".
