Broken Tulips

About This Movie

So, 'Broken Tulips' is this intriguing little sci-fi flick from 2008 that really digs into the psyche of its main character, Edward Porris. The atmosphere is pretty surreal, with this unsettling mix of beauty and discomfort that’s hard to shake off. It plays around with themes of desire and escapism, all set against the backdrop of a spa that seems more like a trip into Edward’s own mind than a place for relaxation. The pacing can feel a bit off-kilter, but that’s part of its charm—keeps you guessing. The practical effects are modest but effective, adding to that unique vibe. You don’t see many films that explore such peculiar territory, and while it might not be on everyone’s radar, it definitely has a distinct voice.
