Head begins at the dedication of a bridge. A politician, the mayor, is supposed to give a speech but there is a barrage of feedback from the microphone. Just when he is about to cut the red ribbon and open the bridge, the Monkees (further) interrupt the ceremony by running through the assembled officials to sound of horns and sirens. The rest of the film has no overriding plot but consists of a series of vignettes highlighting the unpleasant aspects of being public figures. There is a conflict and a resolution, but the film is essentially plotless; as the opening song related: "We hope you like our story/Although there isn't one/That is to say, there's many/That way, there is more fun!" Rather, it is a seemingly stream of consciousness stringing-together of musical numbers, satires of various film genres, elements of psychedelia, and references to topical issues such as the Vietnam War. The distorted consciousness and psychedelia elements resemble an LSD trip.[citation needed]. Despite the film being plotless, there are Recurring images including a black box in which the group are trapped, a desert location, and a gigantic Victor Mature.§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§
Nel 1968, dopo la conclusione della serie televisiva, il gruppo prefabbricato dei Monkees partecipò al film Head, psichedelico, irriverente e assurdo come un viaggio con acido finito male (o bene, a seconda dei punti di vista).
Ci sono molte apparizioni celebri e il flusso della narrazione ci porta a seguire le disavventure del quartetto attraverso varie situazioni e scenari, sempre con la quarta parete in frantumi.
Ovviamente in Italia non è mai arrivato, nonostante una parte recitata in italiano da italiani.
Se non conoscente i Monkees e se vi piacciono i film con un senso logico... evitate il film.
