Upsteam Color is around the shuffling life of Kris, one night she is attacked and hypnotized, using a grub with hypnotic properties, administered by a thief. She follows the thief';s instructions to give him everything, even taking out loans. After the worms are extracted, she wakes up to find her life ruined. She';s lost her job, her finances are destroyed. Years later, she meets Jeff whom she may have a lot in common with.
It's evocative, but beneath the stylised direction and the mesmerising soundtrack, perhaps a little cold, like a concept album without a fully formed idea to drive it.
By abandoning the need for specific interpretation, Carruth nails the fundamental inscrutability of the universe while remaining in awe of it the whole way through.
The remarkable Amy Seimetz is as central to the film as women in Krzysztof Kieslowski's late films, like Irène Jacob in "Three Colors: Red" and "The Double Life of Véronique" or Juliette Binoche in "Three Colors: Blue."
Carruth's visual approach, saved from abstraction by his own rapid, forward-leaping editing, is extremely assured. Seimetz is a fine and expressively haunted actress. I look forward to the enigmas in Carruth's next picture.
