Saturday, April 23, 2022 | News

The newest vision from Bertrand Mandico (The Wild Boys) plays like a lesbian El Topo (in space!) with stunning 35mm in-camera practical effects, otherworldly set pieces, and a dazzling score by Pierre Desprats.

Synopsis: In a faraway future, on a wild and untamed female inhabited planet called After Blue, a lonely teenager named Roxy unknowingly releases a mystical, dangerous, and sensual assassin from her prison. Roxy and her mother Zora (Elina Löwensohn) are held accountable, banished from their community, and forced to track the murderer named Kate Bush down. Haunted by the spirits of her murdered friends, Roxy starts a long journey pacing the supernatural territories of this filthy paradise. 

Starring Elina Löwensohn (Knife+Heart, Let The Corpses Tan, Nadja, Schindler’s List, Simple Men), Vimala Pons (Elle), Agata Buzek (Redemption), and Paula Luna, AFTER BLUE (DIRTY PARADISE), was written and directed by Bertrand Mandico. The film was also an official selection at Locarno, TIFF Midnight Madness, Fantastic Fest, and Sitges Film Festival. Check out the poster and brand new trailer below!
