Barbet Schroeder's "More" is a weird, freaky movie about two hedonisitc kids who destroy themselves with drugs. More precisely, it's about a kinky American girl who destroys her German boyfriend and in the process destroys herself. But why be precise? The boyfriend is played as such a stupid Teutonic slob we're glad to see him die.
"More" is not, however, a lecture. It's more of a celebration. The message seems to be: Sure, speed kills, but what a way to go. After some disorganized scenes in Europe, the two kids leave to spend the summer on a Mediterranean island. They lie nude in the sun (forever, it seems); get involved in a Nazi intrigue that's never made clear; experiment with pot, acid, speed, heroin and banana peels; make a little love; and engage in the most impossible menage a trois since Elsa the lion crawled into the tent.
Alas, such happy times can't possibly last. When autumn comes, the boy has developed a heroin habit and kills himself with an overdose. But please don't blame me, this time, for giving away the ending. We're informed as the movie opens that the boy will die. What's strange is that he narrates his own story, all the same. Even his funeral. I think English professors call that a flawed point of view.
The movie is very heavy on sunsets, sunrises, and sun in general. Schroeder doesn't quite understand that turning on and basking in the sun is one thing, but having to watch it is another. The drug experience is basically internal, and no movie has really succeeded in reproducing it visually. Some, like " The Trip " (1967) and " Easy Rider ," try to reproduce acid trips by messing around with the camera. That doesn't work and gets boring after a while. "More," interestingly enough, never pretends to be inside the character's heads. It watches the trips from outside. That's a relief but not a solution.
The movie comes to us provincials, by the way, bearing a heavy weight of praise from New York critics (who are apparently hard to bore). Perhaps Schroeder's reputation preceded him; he's an influential young critic for Cahlers du Cinema, and produced the anthology film "Six in Paris." But he is not yet very sure of himself, especially in the editing. Several passages are destroyed by nervous editing; the love scenes, in particular, seem truncated and uncertain.
That is not the fault, however, of Mimsy Farmer , who doesn't miss a one of them (or allow us to miss much of her). Miss Farmer has previously been seen in cheap motorcycle pictures; it is a surprise to discover how well she can act.
Instead of playing the love scenes in the conventional American voluptuous and gasping style, she remains very freaky, brittle, and almost neurotically repressed during them. Her scenes are the best in the film. Unfortunately, there are a lot of other scenes that go nowhere, and we quickly get bored with the untalented Klaus Grunberg as her German boyfriend. Even in the love scenes, he's only following orders.

Product Description
Having graduated college, Stefan hitchhikes from Lubeck, Germany, to Paris, France, where he finds the warm embrace of Estellean American expatriate and heroin user. Together, they chase the sun to the island of Ibiza where they develop even more interesting relationships with the islands leading drug dealer and a girlfriend of Estelles. Made in the late sixties, Barbet Schroeders (Barfly) directorial debut is a treatment of pleasure, pain and tragedy that stands apart from numerous counterculture exploitation films. With Academy Award® winning cinematographer Nestor Almendros (Days of Heaven), More never resorts to predictable LSD-induced stylistics, but rather atypically adopts a style of objectivity to illuminate the ideas and emotions that contribute to a lifestyle of destructive excess. After years of languish this relevant cult classic, featuring a soundtrack by Pink Floyd, is finally available for a new generation.

Review by Heretic ★★★★
I feel the reviews here miss the point. This is an intentionally de-romanticized view of the sixties that was made during the time it is portraying. There is no nostalgia in this telling. The people are not pleasant. They are lost like many hippies were. So the movie is depressing and sad like life sometimes is for some people. You can be lost and never found again. You can lose yourself. The Pink Floyd score is great and the cinematography is by an all time cinematic genius: Nestor Almendros.
Review by Dani Simpson ★★★ 5
The only reason I watched this was because Pink Floyd did the score.
Review by Sean Baker 5
First time watch for me. Didn't know anything about it when I found the original poster for sale online. Not only was I surprised that I hadn't seen Schroeder's first film but I thought I've seen almost every drug themed film out there. Pleasantly surprised to find the film streaming on Criterion Channel. The transfer must be the same as the BFI Blu-ray which I hear is fantastic. Here's a nice write-up on the film by Nathaniel Thompson at Mondo Digital:

Néstor Almendros shot it so it looks great.
Watched on the Criterion Channel.
Review by Patrick Pryor ★★★★
Baby boomers SMDH
Still waiting for a present day sequel where Mimsy Farmer complains on the internet about how her kids aren't having enough kids who can pay taxes to fund her retirement. Or how she voted for Trump 'cause she wanted to shake things up in Washington. If these selfish hippie dippy burnout types aren't falling for free love and bongo thumping, they're chasing some other trend or disapperaing down another self absorbed path.
ANYWAY. I like Schroeder's documentarian eye capturing a slice of Eurotrash '60s counterculture life. Those streets feel alive, and those parties look real(ish). A movement lost to time. The movie also slow slides into junkie slumming: bleeding into a boot and not caring, sitting at a table and eating honey out of a jar, unwashed hair. It's all here in gross and sad and darkly comic detail!
Review by lilyphilia ★★★
Pink Floyd's "Cymbaline" just might be the best song to jam to while someone's getting high.
Review by Conchobarre ★★★ 3
A drop-outs drug film from 1969 with the soundtrack composed by Pink Floyd. This is Barbet Shroeder's first film. It's set in Paris and the island of Ibiza, Spain which is where the dropping out happens. The landscapes are stunning and really taken advantage of with the gorgeous cinematography. There is a sense that the most beautiful, idyllic and privileged lifestyle doesn't save someone if they're lost and morally bereft.
Stefan (Klaus Grünberg), a recent uni graduate who robs houses follows Estelle (Mimsy Farmer) a girl he barely knows to Ibiza and gets drawn into the sinkhole of her shady, (but yet quirky and adorable) ways, which includes an off-on addiction to heroin. The story is not that fresh to…
Review by Chris Browning ★★½
Yes, it’s an admirable take down of the self centred, self absorbed lifestyle of so many members of the sixties counterculture that inevitably leads to self destruction but it’s also interminably boring and stodgy. The soundtrack is not only the best thing about it but deserves a better film
Review by Gentry ★★
“She has fat legs. And she talks a lot of shit.”
Mimsy Farmer in “ hell-bound human wrecking ball ” mode. Intoxicating, lithe. Sadly, addicted to heroin and saddled with a pushy, jealous doofus who isn’t worthy of the Mediterranean air she breathes.
A little bit too hippy dippy Pink Floyd baby’s first joint. It started to grow on me when it turned into an Ibiza themed mystery with an ex-Nazi and a dope addict under his thumb. But then it became a cloying, tiresome junkie story. Beating a windmill on heroin. Screaming at the cliffs on LSD. And Stefan. God, Stefan fucking sucked .
The prize for this slog? The erotic image of Mimsy Farmer licking the rim of the glass to add the salt when preparing a margarita. I’ll always have that.
Review by bulletproofQpid ★★★½
"Something stinks." "It's me." "May I kiss you?" "No, beard's too long." "I dig it that way." "Up to you. I stink and I prickle."
Heroin looks like so much fun...
Review by Patrick ★½
If you like hearing people call heroin "horse" then this is the movie for you
Review by Matty Stanfield ★★★★
Barbet Schroeder's 1969 infamous film has one toe just over the line but firmly situated in the world of hippie-dippy love. However, the rest of the films foot and the whole right foot is firmly standing in what would become the early 1970's. A time when flower-power and tripping out on acid would become highly problematic. Who knew that the cultural revolution of the 1960's was about to eat itself and that euphoria would quickly give way to paranoia, anger, radicalization and addiction. Schroeder most certainly had a strong feeling about where his generation was about to go.
The two leading performances are naturalistic and sometimes not very good. Nestor Almendros' cinematography is simple yet complex. Pink Floyd, billed as…
Review by Mark Thiedeman ★★ 1
Estelle's high pitched screeching is almost as absurd as the crazed male aggression towards her, culminating in one of my new favorite lines of dialogue: "do you know how many guys she's destroyed already?! TWO!"
But hey, self-destructive spiritual journeys? I should, in theory, love this.
