Beyond The Black Rainbow (2010) ****

Beyond The Black Rainbow (2010) was one of my Top Films Of 2012 (I first saw the film in its Boston premiere as part of the Independent Film Festival Boston, in 35 mm, 10 years ago today, where it melted my brain). It's a glacially-paced sci-fi mind trip that rewards more often than it doesn't, with a fantastic synth score and bold, modernist cinematography.

Recommended for fans of the following film and musical stylings:
