A digital-pastoral drama of friendship, landscape and technology, "For the Plasma" begins as the story of two young women (Anabelle LeMieux and Rosalie Lowe) employed as forest-fire lookouts in Northern Maine, and ends in a hundred places at once. Along the way, the girls make financial predictions based on surveillance footage of the surrounding forest, the local lighthouse keeper and a pair of unusual investors interrupt their solitude, and a dreamlike portrait of small town America and contemporary life is revealed. "For the Plasma" is a film of minimal means but ambition, shot in Super 16mm and 4:3 with a small cast and crew, and scored by the great Japanese experimental composer, Keiichi Suzuki.
Leave your thoughts about For the Plasma.
| The New YorkerRichard BrodyThe movie’s visual prose, aided by simple but fanciful camera work, has an original, giddy spin; Bryant and Molzan’s smooth and floaty direction sublimates the rocky landscape into something disturbingly ethereal. |
| 4:3Conor BatemanVaguely unclassifiable yet undoubtedly impressive. |
| Brooklyn MagazineElina AlterIn its obvious, 16mm love for wilderness, its desire both to capitalize on and dismiss tradition, and its stubborn refusal to cohere, a very American production. |
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesThe movie's sole attraction is an odd, exceptionally potent electronic score by Japanese pop musician Keiichi Suzuki. |
| RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoThe meta-oddity of For the Plasma is certainly not for everyone, but it’s such a charmingly strange film, a movie that feels devoid of the cynicism that often plagues every genre from which it cribs, but particularly modern sci-fi and low-budget cinema. It is a movie that is happily strange, joyfully bizarre and particularly unforgettable. |
| Village VoiceDanny KingFor the Plasma finds genuine, almost innocent-seeming delight in its own swerves in style and rhythm. |
| The PlaylistJason OoiFor the Plasma immediately throws its viewer into the deep end. Unique beyond measure, its mumblecore, indie affectation is contradicted by a bold ambition in the form of big, complex ideas which don’t always make sense in reality, but pave the way for some interesting insights. |
| Gay City NewsSteve Erickson"For the Plasma" may frustrate some people by erring too much on the side of the enigmatic, especially in its final half hour, but it offers up a compelling optimist's vision of the forest of life, before which we're all searching for answers. |
| The New York TimesBen KenigsbergFor the Plasma is a film with no shortage of ambition, taste (Maine looks great in 16-millimeter) or ideas. It’s a shame those ideas are so incoherent. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeNot as committed to its spacey perceptuo-metaphysical premise as it seems at the start, the film seems more interested in whether one woman can convince another to buy into a project she doesn't understand. |
