Pathé cinema conducted an experiment in which 30 people watched Christopher Nolan’s space film Interstellar again while under hypnosis. The experiment examined whether hypnosis could make participants experience a familiar favorite film as if they were seeing it for the first time.

One participant said the hypnosis did not feel like being in a deep trance or almost asleep, but that they remained engaged with the film. The participant also described the experience as having an added memory.
