I considered writing a review and then writing a follow-up piece concerning Shane Caruth's sophomore effort Upstream Color, but couldn't quite find a way to do one without doing the other. Therefore, the result is the following, 1300-word stream of consciousness of which I hope makes, at the very least, a modicum of sense. Upstream Color is only the writer-director's second film following 2004's time travel mind-bender Primer and it's sure to confuse audiences on far greater levels than its predecessor and it sounds like he's going even grander, at least in scope, with his next film, The Modern Ocean, which deals with shipping routes, competing corporations and I'm sure multiple metaphorical levels of thinking, or, at the very least, a straight-forward interpretation of today's shrinking world. And so, to Upstream Color, a film I took to be entirely metaphorical, though told as something of a horror, romantic, sci-fi thriller. »
