I've had Primer on a burned disc for over a year now. I'll get to it.

Re: Film: Upstream Color
Primer is a great movie. If this has any of its originality and attention to detail, it'll be pretty good.

Re: Film: Upstream Color
Primer really is one the most original and fascinating genre films I've ever seen. I'm still not sure I get it 100%, intellectually. But emotionally I absolutely get it and I absolutely love it.

That was one of my favorite things about it, is that it really nails the emotional and mental turmoil of time travel better than anything I've seen before. The tagline is perfect: "what happens if it actually works?"durdencommatyler wrote:Primer really is one the most original and fascinating genre films I've ever seen.

Re: Film: Upstream Color
I've been reading the negative comments on this movie. It's the same as Tree of Life: Self-indulgent, pretentious etc.
Some people really don't like narrative storytelling & presentation that deviates from the norm. I pity those folks.

Re: Film: Upstream Color
I loved this movie so much. I found it beautiful and strange and thrilling. I am sort of in awe of how ludicrous the plot sounds if you were to attempt to explain it, and how wonderfully it was executed.
I hope Shane Carruth gets a little more prolific in the coming years.
