Movie Background

Upstream Color

A man and a woman are irresistibly drawn to one another, entwined in the life cycle of an ageless organism. Identity dissolves into illusion as they strive to assemble the scattered fragments of wrecked lives.

7/10

After almost 9 years since Primer, Shane Carruth returned with his next film, Upstream Color. Once again, Shane played multiple roles in the creation of this film – producer (one of), director, writer, actor (one of), music director, cinematographer and editor (one of). The film was made with a tiny budget of $50,000, wow, talk about being efficient. The story is not a convoluted one like Primer, which was based on time travel. That said, it’s not very straightforward either. It does talk about some unreal patterns and could get hard to understand at times. Do give it a watch if you haven’t already.
