Here, There and EverywhereMany, many years ago, I reviewed a movie for Quail Bell called The Double Life of Veronique. While discussing the oeuvre of Krzysztof Kieslowski, I mentioned a film series he directed called the Three Colors trilogy. While I didn’t go too deep into discussing the films, the first film in the series, Three Colors: Blue, is one of the best movies I have ever seen in my life. Three Colors: Red may be my all-time favorite movie, but Blue was one that still haunts me. The film, which follows a woman who loses her husband and daughter in a car accident and tries to separate herself from all around her to cope with the loss, was a dramatic and dreamlike depiction of the grieving and bereavement process. Through its beautiful cinematography and score, the depiction of Juliette Binoche’s protagonist as she tries and fails to isolate herself in her time of grief really struck a chord with me and remains with me to this day as one of the best depictions of bereavement I have ever seen.

Not-so-dead, seeNow that we’re in spooky season, it’s easy to get caught back up in the culture of horror and horror media. It’d be one thing to let October be the month of pumpkin spice and autumn colors, but a lot of people choose to let themselves go head first into horror, myself included. Having a guilty pleasure love of horror films and a fascination with finding new ones, I was curious to see if I could find a piece of horror fiction unlike anything I normally come across.
