Teaser: Upstream Color


8:00 PM on 12.04.2012



Just last week we shared a poster and some stills from Upstream Color, the new film from Shane Carruth, the writer/director of Primer. A teaser for Upstream Color was just released today, and it looks very cool and really unsettling. Already it's one of my most anticipated movies of 2013.

Here's the synopsis for Upstream Color:

A man and woman are drawn together, entangled in the lifecycle of an ageless organism. Identity becomes an illusion as they struggle to assemble the loose fragments of wrecked lives.

Upstream Color will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival. It's currently scheduled for a March 22nd release.

Review: Violet & Daisy

There was a point in the mid-to-late 1990s when a bunch of lesser filmmakers tried to make movies like Quentin Tarantino. It was the style of Tarantino -- the pop-culture savvy, the soul music, the violence, the coolness, the...

Steven Soderbergh to rework/recut his film Kafka

I haven't seen Steven Soderbergh's Kafka (1991) in at least 15 years. I was in high school at the time and had just started reading Franz Kafka (like any lit geek of that age), and was intrigued by that Kafka movie on VH...

BFF Review: Hank and Asha

Review: Missed Connections

Missed connections serve as the chosen medium for lovelorn, hopeless romantics who believe in fleeting chance encounters in public. I can say this with confidence, because I used to regularly check missed connections on a dai...

Review: The History of Future Folk

The History of Future Folk is about the origins of the universe's only alien bluegrass folk duo, and how they discovered and fell in love with Earth's music. It's charming, adventurous, and a ton of fun. I mean when's the las...
