See the Trippy Trailer for Errol Morris’s Timothy Leary Doc My Psychedelic Love Story

The counterculture? Sure, Errol Morris understands the counterculture. Paranoia? Yup, Errol Morris can handle paranoia. But what does the legendary documentarian know about … love? According to his new documentary, quite a bit. Morris’s latest effort, My Psychedelic Love Story, is built around the romance between LSD pioneer Timothy Leary and the late Joanna Harcourt-Smith, a beautiful Swiss hippie who was instrumental in Leary’s decision to turn FBI informant, leading to a bitter break with his former compatriots. Critics are hailing Psychedelic Love Story as a return to form for Morris, both an endearing love story and a poignant look at the end of the ‘60s counterculture. Vulture is pleased to present the film’s trailer, which features Harcourt-Smith reminiscing on the couple’s globe-trotting, drug-fueled adventures, and pondering whether she was used as a honey-pot to entrap Leary. Hey, that part’s timely!

My Psychedelic Love Story premieres on Showtime November 29.
