Beyond the Black Rainbow
Why this pick
Cosmatos’s earlier nightmare is even more hypnotic and controlled: saturated analog imagery, ominous synth mood, and a slow descent into occult-science dread.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Somewhere near the Shadow Mountains in the year 1983, Red Miller lives with his girlfriend, artist Mandy Bloom, in a cabin near the lake. Red works as a logger, while Mandy has a day job as a cashier at a nearby gas station in the woods. She creates elaborate fantasy art, and Red admires her work greatly. They lead a quiet and reclusive life, and their conversations and behavior hint at a difficult past and psychological hardship. Red appears to be a recovering alcoholic and possible veteran, and Mandy recounts traumatic childhood experiences.
