Visually, aesthetically, and aurally sublime, though I could use far more plot and character development to hang all of the stylistic dressing on.

Além do Arco-Íris Negro estreava há 10 anos no Whistler Film Festival. Quando as pessoas falam bem do Panos Cosmatos elas não estão brincando, num clima de distopia burroghsiana isso aqui é excelente. BlurayRip RARBG.

I don't like to talk about porn but it is remarkable how much Eva Bourne looks like Lena Anderson. Then, when red light is cast upon her face, she becomes Liya Silver. Stupid ending

Cosmatos wears his influences on his sleeve, channeling late-era Kubrick, Dario Argento, and Gaspar Noe to great effect. The aesthetics broadly borrow from the ongoing conversation of how technology has changed us as a society, in the artificial settings and the Lynchian industrial hums. Indeed, when she finally escapes the facility we're greeted with two bros sitting around a fire, the classic representation of humanity's roots.

Really glad that Maniac (2018) ripped off this movie's whole aesthetic and made something watchable. Extended shots of the same thing over and over might work if you have the eye of Kubrick doing the cinematography. Extreme close-ups of an actor reciting vaguely Freudian nonesense at the speed of a rural Southerner might work if you have a brilliant cast. This movie has neither, so this plodding synthwave bullshit is, at best, a tedious bore to fall asleep to.

This has everything I dislike about Blade Runner, plus no plot. In theory, a slow, artsy and trippy B-movie should appeal to me. And I'm sure that Cosmatos knew what he was doing with the artificial lighting, drony music, and abstract imagery. They all feel like capital-C Choices. But I really wasn't into it. The whole thing felt like a one-page script stretched out to a staggering 110 minutes. I'm glad that there's an audience for this movie. It's just really not for me.

It was interesting, but I didn’t really like it as such. It had the director’s signature style, for sure, but the actual story failed to capture me. It felt a little amateurish, for better or for worse, and more than a little pretentious. I think films like 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) and The Holy Mountain (1973) must’ve been influences. Again, it was visually striking, but maybe just a little too slow and occasionally abstract for me.

Great ideas but poor execution. The neon-soaked visuals accompanied by the sinister music was great. However, it was a chore to get through. If this film had a more coherent plot and less meandering narrative, it would have been more effective.

A promising debut that offers a vivid retro-futuristic audio-visual experience. It's clearly derivative (i.e Carpenter, Lucas, Noe, Lynch, Merhige etc), but unlike most of his peers, Cosmatos is trying hard to find new images rather than simply recycling ones from the past as is now customary. As an aesthetic achievement it's extremely accomplished; he creates a hermetically sealed, narcotic dreamlike world full of ominous sounds and images, but his script betrays him in the final act.

A debut deserves an A for Aesthetic. It doesn't so much feel like a retro throwback tribute as an honest-to-god continuation in the footsteps of 1960s-1980s cult oddities like "Eraserhead", "The Trip" and "The Prisoner" (series). Missteps include half-baked characters, a stretchy midsection, and a Voldermort-looking dude who reenacts stale slasher-like killings in one scene. But its bold preference for psychedelic mood over explanation presages the director's much better sophomore film, "Mandy".

Gasper Noe and Nicolas Winding Refn with some Argento colors mixed in is my best approximation of this fever dream. The majority of reviews compare the film to something else because there isn't a lot to grasp onto. Instead, this plays less like a film and more of just an experience. Very excited to see more work from Cosmatos.

This is a music video stretched out to almost 2 hours. Some quality images and a cool soundtrack make this worth a view.

Not quite sure what to make of this one after an initial viewing. It is stylish and ambitious, certainly, and has a certain "off" atmosphere augmented by a dynamic synth score. It held my interest more effectively at the start than it did at the end, but I definitely enjoyed it. Weirdly appealing in a way that reminded me of Berberian Film Studio and Under The Skin, as well as shonky 70s sci-fi films. Worth a re-watch, I reckon.

Nice setting doesn't save this movie from being terrible. Lots of useless scenes make the film go on with almost no plot, and still, when something happens, it's impossible to understand it and follow what's going on.
