Spanning over two decades of research and innovation from the 1960s to the early-1980s, the Arboria Institute--a secluded New Age commune and a state-of-the-art research facility--and the pill-popping psychiatrist, Dr Barry Nyle, are particularly interested in their newest specimen: the female patient, Elena. To begin to understand her mind-boggling telekinetic and telepathic abilities, the demented doctor keeps Elena heavily sedated and in a constant catatonic state; however, her capabilities are unfathomable. What are Dr Nyle's deeper intentions? In the end, could the institute's utopian doctrine be flawed after all?
Leave your thoughts about Beyond the Black Rainbow.
| CraveOnlineWitney SeiboldThe product of a fevered mad auteur... May prove to be one of the more rewarding and disturbing film experiences in many a year. |
| Slant MagazineSimon AbramsSomething like a trippy grindhouse homage whose familiar images are refracted through a prism of blacklight posters, Jodorowsky films, and even Rob Zombie's grungy psychotropic sensibility. |
| AV ClubAlison WillmoreBeyond The Black Rainbow is more surface than substance, but those surfaces are gleamingly polished enough to make for a hypnotic experiment that goes beyond genre pastiche or art-school wankery to seem formally daring. |
| sbs.com.auSimon FosterAudiences who appreciate oddball first efforts from talents such as Lynch (Eraserhead), Cronenberg (Shivers) and Jeunet (Delicatessen) will be thankful. |
| Cinema ScopeJason AndersonFor devotees of science-fiction cinema at its most synapse-frying and voluptuously horrifying, the mother lode is exactly what [writer/director Panos] Cosmatos delivers. |
| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanImperfect, but gloriously so, creating, in its own way, a new, exciting, disorienting, unsettling, and long-overdue filmic language. |
| ComingSoon.netEdward DouglasA film that's shockingly disturbing at times but also quite beautiful in its artistry. |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenNothing much happens in this experimental-type science fiction horror film. What little does happen is at a slow-motion snail's pace. |
| Time OutMatt SingerThough the finale feels a bit anticlimactic, the lysergic atmosphere, synth-heavy score and logic-resistant story line more than earn Beyond the Black Rainbow's concluding quote, borrowed from another classic midnight movie: "No matter where you go…there you are." See the late show. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfThe feature is extraordinary to watch, offering delirious visions that hypnotize and repulse, with distinct Cronenbergian encouragement that merges the magic of thought with the puzzle of flesh. |
