Post Re: Beyond the Black Rainbow
A terrific throwback to early Cronenberg and Carpenter (with a little Kubrick and Tarkovsky thrown in for good measure), it's unlike most sci-fi you're likely to see these days. Some may call its pacing slow (or even glacial), but I admired its deliberate manner and careful approach, boosted by some rather insane visuals. For a low-budget, independent work, it's truly stunning.

The plot is sorta generic and the acting amateurish, but none of that bothered me; this is a masterful work, and a real cinephile's film.
