Upstream Color
Writer-director (and mechanical engineer, by the way) Shane Carruth returns to Sundance after a nine-year absence to screen his highly anticipated second feature, which looks to be an even more fascinating mind-bender than his stunning debut, "Primer" (which won the Grand Jury Prize in 2004). The film's trailer offers little more than a series of stunning images and elliptical dialogue that veers between fractured noir-speak and Terrence Malick-esque philosophical ponderings, but it's more than enough to get any "Primer" fan pumped for what will probably be one of the festival's most talked-about (and debated) films. Don't expect much more information from the film's official synopsis on the Sundance site; if nothing else, the noble yet ultimately hopeless attempt at a one-paragraph explanation makes "Upstream Color" all the more enticing. less
