Combining a simple, stark narrative with trippy visual effects and an open, curious approach to hallucinogenic drugs, Icaros: A Vision is inspired by co-director Leonor Caraballo’s personal journey as a cancer-sufferer to a Peruvian retreat, and her experimentation with Ayahuasca. Mixing actors with real shamen, and set in the very town where Herzog made Fitzcarraldo, this is a unique and entrancing cinematic experience, a mind-altering substance in its own right. “Mesmerizing.” New York Times
