S D @Cyclophant Jun 4, 2026 Utter drivel. 99% style, 1% substance. To quote Boots Riley, "Art is sometimes an excuse for, you know, someone farting in public. There's nothing wrong with farting in public, but I want a little more than that."

The main characters (the androgynous Roxy, the strangely beautiful woman buried in the sand, the dour mother of Roxy, the pretentious "artist") are nicely varied and convincingly portrayed, but... the constant repetition of "Kate Bush" in the dialogue gets irritating after the first 20 times, the plot is merely incidental and it's a film that - like Victorian children in Britain - should be seen and not heard. Visually it's unique and beautiful. Just forget the words. See more Tor L @Airflow2TheTurbo Nov 6, 2024 After Blue is an utterly mesmerising, surreal, psychedelic experience. It's the type of thoroughly original, exquisite filmmaking that we rarely see these days. Those used to standard formulaic Hollywood fare will no doubt hate it. I was absolutely dazzled by it. Suspiria-esque psychedelic colours, stunning cinematography, pulsing 80s synth music, astonishing set design and acting. Cinema as true art is clearly alive and well in France, unlike America. Like nothing I've ever seen before. Highly recommended. See more Simon B @RT11542635 Jul 31, 2023 The most bizarre thing I have ever watched. Also, it's rubbish. See more Velero r @Velero Apr 25, 2023 This low-budget sci-fi western seems to follow the tradition of a certain obscure current of european productions from the late century (see Les Remparts d'écume for example), where oniric surrealism, rusty decadent worlds and candid gratuituous nudity were taken for granted. It is not a film for everyone, and its undeniable flaws (amateurish acting, questionable effects and props, unnecesary nudity) will be too hard to ignore for the majority. But I, for one, enjoyed the ride. In this world of copypasted, uninspired productions, this kind of content makes me retain some faith. Kudos also to the main actress, as she nailed it, in my opinion. See more david b @Dobishop Oct 3, 2022 A bore on all levels. See more Read all reviews
