Identity becomes an illusion as they struggle to assemble the loose fragments of wrecked lives.Primer director Shane Carruth gives us a grand piece of art filled with emotion and mood. A beautiful love story for those who believe in fate and have dated the "emotionally stressed." The story is original and ahead of it's time. It may take focus to understand what is going on, but that is the beauty of it. This is an experience in love, togetherness and connections. All directed, shot, starring, edited and music composed by Shane Carruth. This is the ultimate in indies and contemporary film making.

- DirectorGaspar NoéStarsNathaniel BrownPaz de la HuertaCyril RoyAn American drug dealer living in Tokyo is betrayed by his best friend and killed in a drug deal. His soul, observing the repercussions of his death, seeks resurrection.3 hours long and almost all done either overhead (in one single shot) or POV (including the blinking). This will blow your mind and give you a story of a man who dies and his soul watches over his sister. Voyeuristic and with the location, your eyes will begin to bleed. A lot of reincarnation motifs and sexuality. For those who are on LSD or want to draw the line in their mind.

The ending's twist will make you want to watch it again and again.
- DirectorLars von TrierStarsKirsten DunstCharlotte GainsbourgKiefer SutherlandTwo sisters find their already strained relationship challenged as a mysterious new planet threatens to collide with Earth.Dark and mood driven another planet is on a collision course with earth.
