Bellflower is a genuinely upsetting film in all the very best ways. It was filmed on a shoestring budget, and yet for the most part, you would never be able to tell. It’s a terrifyingly beautiful, in an apocalyptic sort of way. This is the exact type of experimental filmmaking that Sundance has been charged with discovering and nurturing.

This is a pretty slow week for Blu-ray releases with only a few new releases with only one even close to semi-action oriented. There are however a few good catalog releases with one dating back all the way to 1927.
Guy interviews Evan Glodell, actor, writer, and director of the movie Bellflower.
Jeremy of The Daily Rotation wrote, "In the day and age when any YouTube viewer with a fine understanding of Final Cut Pro can make an “indie film” solely based off of their special effect skills and ability to hold a camera comes an actual indie film that deserves all the credit it’s been getting. The film is Bellflower and it was written, produced, edited and directed by Evan Glodell. He also starred in it alongside Tyler Dawson, Jessie Wiseman and Rebekah Brandes. Bellflower is the result of hard work and dedication. It’s a film that is visually unlike anything I’ve seen before and luckily the story is good enough to warrant a second viewing, due to its loopy second half. It’s the type of film that makes the director one to be closely watched as his next few pieces of work are really going to display his talents. Bellflower is a rough entry into the world of film and it could make for a very bright or dark future for Evan Glodell."
