Not that further details would explain much. As scenes and lines of dialogue begin to loop and repeat, along with sudden insert shots of blood rushing through veins and other biological functions, the film becomes downright experimental, as if a David Cronenberg film and a David Lynch one had been edited together.

That actually makes Upstream Color sound more intriguing than it actually is. Certainly questions of identity and trust and reality are all at play, and in a fairly provocative way. But if Carruth is regarded as an enigmatic genius in some circles, his is a genius largely misunderstood by me.
