Overview
PRIMER director Shane Carruth returns nearly a decade after his debut feature with the enigmatic thriller UPSTREAM COLOR. Amy Seitz stars as a woman whose life is shattered when a thief gives her a mysterious drug that forces her to do whatever he says. Years after this incident, she begins a tentative relationship with a man (played by Carruth), but both of them seem to suffer from strange memory problems, and she's still haunted by what happened to her before. UPSTREAM COLOR screened at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, where Carruth won accolades years before with PRIMER.

Movie Reviews
Reviews:
3 stars out of 4 -- "[T]he movie is designed as an enigmatic experience, to be absorbed, felt, puzzled over, free-associated about and reconsidered while you're watching it and then for a good while afterwards." - 04/11/2013 Chicago Sun-Times
"Part science fiction scare movie, part offbeat romance, part completely unclassifiable, COLOR is also one-man filmmaking of a remarkable sort." - 04/11/2013 Los Angeles Times
"Carruth weaves a vivid emotional texture out of handheld streetscapes and quasi-sci-fi images..." - 04/12/2013 Entertainment Weekly
"[A]n intensely beautiful and enigmatic puzzle picture....Carruth has the means to expand another dense, sophisticated conceit into quasi-experimental marvel..." - 04/04/2013 A.V. Club
"UPSTREAM COLOR is a stimulating and hypnotic piece of experimental filmmaking..." - 01/21/2013 Variety
