Weird

After Blue is a world in a different galaxy, with only women. All men are dead. We meet Roxy walking along a beach, taunted by three women who don't like her, and refer to her as Toxic. They come across a head in the sand, which is actually a person buried up to her neck. The three tell her to leave her buried, but she digs her out, and is granted three wishes. She wishes the three would leave her alone, and the woman, Kate Bush, kills them. (Monkey's Paw, anyone?) Her mother, along with her, are sent on a quest. Along the way, others join, and they have weapons. The weapons have names: Chanel, Guicci, Paul Smith and Louis Vuitton. The movie is French, is surreal, so one immerses into the visual aspects, the coloration, the tints, the goo, the fog, the overlaid layers, and one will either appreciate it for art, or consider it garbage. Each person who makes it through the entire movie will likely have a different take on what it is about. The sets are really what makes the movie, as they are strange and really outer worldly.

Plotless nonsense

AFTER BLUE is a French science fiction film set on a planet populated entirely by women. It seems to have been designated as some kind of visionary masterpiece by the director but instead it feels like a pretentious exercise in voyeurism. The plot revolves around the hunt for a character called Kate Bush, I kid you not, but it's all played out in such po-faced seriousness that the whole thing becomes an embarassment after about five minutes' screen time. Like a modern-day Jean Rollin, the director pads his film out with endless nudity and scenes of female bodies being entwined, but the end result is dull, superficial, and extraordinarily shallow.

Compulsive, clever, funny and gross

From the moment a "fifth element" blond naive girl meets a buried to the neck, snarling, naked medusa whom she releases and murders the naked "Heathers" I was appalled, hooked, repulsed, turned on, laughed, tensed up, grossed out and finally thoroughly, thoroughly confused. I loved it and it will play on repeat on my video enabled gravestone.

Watch this if you like your "Barbarella" with added psychedelics, plenty of goo hanging from bushes, tentacled-penis endowed Androids and ball-bearing lactation. The fact that there are hats that reminded me of a mad Aunt I knew didn't help me take it seriously. And as for the kiddie-prop guns named after fashion houses, take that NRA!
