Short Film: Red Yellow Blue (2023)

Synopsis

After the most colorful credits ever, we open with a girl walking through the city. She calls her mother on a payphone; she says she’s fine. Then she goes into an old church and she immediately becomes possessed. She then runs back outside and imagines blood on her hands. She’s red all over! No, wait– that was all just a dream– or was it?

Commentary

Her mother says she talks like she’s insane, but she doesn’t really say anything crazy sounding. It’s one of those “is it real or is she imagining things” type of story, but it’s well done.

The scenery and settings are great. I liked the music as well. The lighting in the indoor scenes is a little insufficient, but you could always tell what was going on. Overall, it’s a descent into madness that’s really colorful! David Lynch would be pleased with this.
