With a soundtrack by Pink Floyd and a trip to the sunny Mediterreanian island of Ibiza what could go wrong? In a word, Heroin. Two happy-go-lucky people meet in Europe during the late 60's, when freedom was believed to be more than a slogan. Moving within the counterculture of the time, they meet amid the rebellion of their peers, who consumed illicit drugs by increasing numbers. Seeking fun and relaxed living they boat to Ibiza, apparently a heroin staging site. They become hooked and lose their freedom. Filmed with great beauty and tragic in it's depth, "More" is the great story of boy meets girl that goes astray. If it weren't for the nudity and obvious drug enjoyment I would recommend it for adolescents. Yet it has an important moral.

More than I expected
Added 6/12/2007
Being a Pink Floyd fan I first owned the CD of the music from the Pink Floyd score. Some years back it seemed the movie was unavailable so more years went by and I was always curious with a wanting to someday see the film. I finally got the DVD and the film More is much more likeable than I ever imagined. The quality and the story seem very good to me and that the movie was released in 1969 shows me that this movie is way better than most other productions I have ever seen. And I also learn something.....our reveiws are sometimes fickle but I never take the word of a critic that puts a movie down......my most favorite movies of alltime were downed by critics.....I think they try to steal power for their own egos when putting things down. The film More deserves all five stars and is way more than I ever imagined or expected it to be. The DVD copy I bought is now another gem in my vast music and movie collection. Thanks to amazon.com

For those who Lived it...
Added 5/29/2007
In 1969, "More" prompted many young urbanites to move to Ibiza, to live the utopian dream. The Pink Floyd is a favorite among the expatriate veterans who still live on the island. English is the proper language for this movie, for, not only it facilitated its commercialization, but actually is the lingua franca among these expressive expatriates.
Though a tad disappointing as a movie production, "More" historically embodies the Spirit of a time. The acting is quite ludicrous at the beginning, but it gradually improves, as the narrative unfolds and the actors get into their roles. In any case, More is definitely a cult of the counterculture, thematizing the challenges and shortcomings of transpersonal utopia. Reflecting the anti-heroine stance (drug which ultimately throws hippies down from bliss to destruction), the movie resonates with autobiographies, such as Cleo Odzer's "Goa Freaks", and it can be better understood by the anthropological book by Anthony D'Andrea, "Global Nomads" about Ibiza and Goa/India.
If you experienced the counterculture, and/or were in Ibiza (its alternative world, not tourism...), or like chaotic romances in exotic yet real situations, then you will love the movie. But if you don't empathize with any of the related issues, then it is better not to expect too much...
