Earlier this week, we showed you the trippy trailer for BEYOND THE BLACK RAINBOW, which is premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival later this month. Today, two new stills from the film popped up; see one above and another below. Here is the synopsis:
BEYOND THE BLACK RAINBOW is a Reagan-era fever dream inspired by hazy childhood memories of midnight movies and Saturday morning cartoons. Cosmatos brings a bold, Kubrickian vision to the screen in stunning detail in this sci-fi fable of a young woman imprisoned in an experimental laboratory and the enigmatic scientist who is her captor. Set in a futuristic 1983, Elena finds herself held against her will in a mysterious facility under the watchful eye of the sinister Dr. Barry Nyle. Pushed to her limits, Elena is left with no choice but to navigate an escape from her labyrinthine prison, in the process revealing its hidden secrets.
At once creatively futuristic and hypnotically retro, BEYOND THE BLACK RAINBOW evokes the spirit of classic 1970s and 80s science fiction films through its vintage-inspired chromatic cinematography, elaborate set pieces, and an authentically retro sci-fi score composed entirely on analog synthesizers by Jeremy Schmidt. With all the makings of a cult classic, BEYOND THE BLACK RAINBOW is sure to absorb viewers in its unique dystopian futurescape and marks the trippy, exciting debut of a promising new talent in the science fiction world.
The sci-fi/horror film marks the debut of writer/director Panos Cosmatos (son of filmmaker George P. Cosmatos). The picture was a joint Canadian/Italian produciton. It stars Michael Rogers, Eva Allan, and Scott Hylands.
