Upstream Color

The loss of self control is overabundant in this highly original work. Upstream Color could be referring to our constant uphill struggle in life. We endlessly do our best to swim against the current, when in the end, no matter how powerful the rapids, we succumb to it. Plants seem to be taking over our world with reckless abandonment. They dominate our planet and minds without mercy. Yet we refuse to acknowledge much else besides their beauty. This visual treat is filled with real human emotion, along with loads eerie scenes that will make your skin crawl. So regardless of what Shane Carruth was truly attempting to say with this film most viewers should be thoroughly entertained.
