I don’t normally watch trailers, but seeing how I had a hard time making heads or tails of Shane Carruth‘s Primer, I figured the trailer for his new film Upstream Color wouldn’t exactly give away much, especially since the synopsis certainly doesn’t:
A man and woman are drawn together entangled in the life cycle of an ageless organism. Identity becomes an illusion as they struggle to assemble the loose fragments of wrecked lives.
The film is the first from Carruth since Primer was released in 2004 so to say it has been some time is quite the understatement and this trailer leaves a lot to the imagination, but certainly is intriguing if not entirely baffling.
Carruth stars in the film, which he wrote and directed, alongside Amy Seimetz, Andrew Sensenig and Thiago Martins and it will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January before indie distributor ERBP releases it in theaters on April 5.
You can check out the trailer below and I have added the poster and three stills from the film to the gallery for the film right here.
