The Adventures of Goopy and Bagha (1968) – Ghost Dance Sequence – Google Video

I have no idea what to make of this. The Adventures of Goopy and Bagha (1968) – Ghost Dance Sequence is something that BoingBoing refers to as “Ethnic psychedelia by India’s filmic Shakespeare”. If somebody wants to comment and clarify the connection to Shakespeare, feel free. I’m guessing that “filmic Shakespeare” is like “Kenneth Brannagh.”
