Subtitles: English Length: 100 mins     Awakening Of The Beast is a deliriously psychedelic nightmare about the rise of drug use and perversion among the youth of the nation.In a series of increasingly bizarre vignettes we see all manner of depravity, from a group of finger-sniffing hippies to a lecherous movie producer seducing a young starlet.Four drug addicts are chosen out of this group to take part in an LSD experiment.What follows is the closest thing to a real acid trip ever put on film--but are they under the influence of LSD or Coffin Joe?Banned by Brazil's military dictatorship for nearly 20 years, it is now considered by many to be writer-director-star Jose Mojica Marins' masterpiece.
