Upstream Color is a 2013 American experimental science fiction film written, directed, produced, and edited by Shane Carruth. The film stars Amy Seimetz, Carruth, Andrew Sensenig, and Thiago Martins.
The film is about a man and woman who are drawn together, entangled in the life cycle of an ageless organism. Identity becomes an illusion as they struggle to assemble the loose fragments of their wrecked lives.
Upstream Color explores themes of identity, connection, and the cyclical nature of life. The film is known for its abstract storytelling and unique visual style, which has divided critics and audiences alike.
Despite its polarizing reception, Upstream Color has gained a cult following and is considered a thought-provoking and visually stunning piece of cinema.
