This sounds great: the on-screen visuals are meant to be "watched" with your eyes closed, having been calculated to stimulate your optic nerves behind your eyelids in certain pre-planned ways. It somehow presents an account of a person coming out of isolation: who can imagine THAT?

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Blind Lemon Jefferson: muddle a lemon wedge at the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Pour in 2 oz. Bourbon and 3/4 oz. each of lemon juice (scant that, having muddled the wedge) and Simple Syrup, with 4 dashes of Whiskey-Barrel (or absent that, Angostura) bitters. Add ice. Shake. Strain into a chilled Martini glass or coupe. Garnish with a lemon twist.
