Beyond the Black Rainbow (2010)
One of the best sci-fi films I have seen in my life
The cinematography: 9/10
Even if you thought the film was boring, you can't deny that the set design, the different lights and the overall presentation were spectacular. If it weren't for the sometimes annoying use of slow-mo, the cinematography could have been a 10.
The acting: 9/10
Like all of these artsy films there isn't much talking but all of the actors (less then 10) really got into character. The actor who played Dr Barry did a terrific job.
The score: 10/10
80s music is not my thing but it suited the movie perfectly.
The plot: 8.5/10
MAY CONTAIN SOME SPOILERS
It's a very basic storyline, but it moves at a snail's pace.A girl (with strange powers) is captive in a strange place where a doctor might (or not) help her escape . The atmosphere is incredible and at times it has almost a horror movie feel. At the last 15 minutes the movie decided to change radically into something else (I won't spoil it).
So all in all, this movie deserves a 9/10 but bear in might that you may find it disturbing and slow (it's slower than STALKER, 2001 but doesn't go as 8 e mezzo).
Can't wait to see more of Panos Cosmatos
