Primed for confusion


Upstream Color (2013)

Written, directed by and staring Shane Carruth this film also features Amy Seimetz and Andrew Sensenig. A woman is drugged and robbed by a small time thief which is only the beginning of strange goings on.

Much like Carruth's first film, Primer (2004), this film is highly confusing at times while being a fascinating watch. The plot is a real head scratcher that I am still not sure I have figured out but hints at several thematic layers. One of the best things about the film is it's use of sound that is well worth watching the film for if nothing else.

5/5
