Blue

About This Movie

So, 'Blue' from 2018 is one of those films that really pulls you into its own atmosphere. You have this woman caught in her sleepless night, and the way the theatre backdrops roll out is quite something. It gives you that surreal feeling like you’re drifting through spaces that are both familiar and alien. There’s this deep exploration of insomnia, and you really feel the weight of that through the practical effects. The lighting, especially on that blue sheet, creates this haunting glow that feels almost meditative. It’s not super fast-paced, but it has this rhythm that matches the protagonist's struggle. It's distinctive in how it uses simple elements to dive into complex themes of reality and imagination. Really makes you think, you know?
