To experience Head you really need to understand where the Monkees were when they filmed it.
This was as their series was coming to a close and the group was near break up. Their inventive and comedic series (sort of an American Idol of their day) took four unknown actors and formed a manufactured supergroup around them.
This is their take on their "manufactured image" and status as the 2nd tier Beatles. They always felt they were in a box, trapped, and unable to find credibility despite their talents.
It is also a hell of a musical-trippy, inventive (I have the soundtrack) and full of surprises.
See it with an open mind.
