Drug addict / author takes drugs and gets from his/our relatively sane world to that other one, the one with the huge bugs that sell him drugs that'll send him back to the first ('normal') reality... found the plot rather difficult to follow after that *grin* Peter Jackson's "HEAVENLY CREATURES" comes to mind, but I'm nost sure that's what you're looking for... girls that entangle them- selves in a pseudo-mediaeval fantasy, but that's more like losing touch with reality than questioning the 'truth' of one's experiences. (I'm not sure if you could count some of the late-60s Cheech&Chong comedies, too, as far as 'losing it' is concerned *grin*... ) Clinical schizophrenia is at the center of "I Never Promised You A Rose Garden"; I know the novel but I'm quite sure a film has been made out of it. It's the story of a girl battling against schizophrenia. David Skreiner ---- To sign off SCREEN-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF SCREEN-L in the message. Problems?
