My Review Of "Blue My Mind"

"Blue My Mind" is a coming-of-age, body horror from Switzerland. The film is directed by Lisa Brühlmann and stars Luna Wedler, and Zoë Pastelle Holthuizen. It is described as an elegiac allegory- part "Suspiria" part "The Metamorphosis".

15-year-old Mia and her parents move to the suburbs of Zürich. While Mia plunges into a wild teenager existence, her body begins to change oddly. First hardly noticeably, but then with a force that threatens to drive her out of her mind. Mia’s transformation progresses inexorably, and she turns into the being which has slumbered within her for years... and is now gaining the upper hand.

Brühlmann's story blends the age of innocence with dark fantasy ad her protagonist deals with life changes, body issues and a sense of confusion about the future. Although she tackles a heavy amount of subject material in the film, "Blue My Mind" never goes full out horror, nor does it take itself too seriously. It is a well written,  well acted metaphor for transitioning from adolescence to adulthood.

The cast seem far stronger actors than their age,  or the film's indie status would suggest. Characters are brought to life conveniencingly and affective. More drama that thrills, there are moments that could have taken the film a bit darker and with a little more horror. Still it wasn't really needed and the film doesn't hurt without, still as a 45 yr old man I could have related more. Or maybe more comfortable considering the material deals with female energies and becoming woman.

The special effects, though limited till the final act, are well produced blends of practical and slight CGI. All kept to a minimalist approach. Most of the film's ability to captivate is done so through brilliant story,  cinematography and the human element. Overall "Blue My Mind" is a great dark fantasy drama appealing to fans of Animorph whimsy and coming-of-age drama. (4/5)

The Russian Sleep Experiment Film Adaptation

One of society's horrific urban legends is set to come alive as a film adaptation of the Russian Sleep Experiment is in the works. Little is known about the movie but the storied events are nightmarish enough so I hope they do the thing proper. The working title is The Soviet Sleep Experiment and is being directed by Barry Andersson. So far Chris Kattan has signed on.

Russian researchers in the late 1940’s kept five people awake for fifteen days using an experimental gas based stimulant. They were kept in a sealed environment to carefully monitor their oxygen intake so the gas didn’t kill them, since it was toxic in high concentrations. This was before closed circuit cameras so they had only microphones and 5 inch thick glass porthole sized windows into the chamber to monitor them. The chamber was stocked with books, cots to sleep on but no bedding, running water and toilet, and enough dried food to last all five for over a month.
