Blue
How?s this for avante-garde - a film where the visuals consist entirely of a bright blue screen from beginning to end, accompanied by a haunting soundtrack in which the speaker reflects upon his deteriorating eyesight and imminent death from illness. The point of the blue screen, I presume, is to allow the viewer to experience a sightless perspective, and I found it rather difficult to keep my eyes on it for the duration. Otherwise, it was a lot more like listening to a radio play than watching a film, and a deeply stirring and unsettling one at that.
