We didn't seem to have threads on these two masterpieces by the brilliant Carruth. Primer is largely considered the best time travel film, and it's as much a brain puzzle as it is a film. In a similar way Upstream Color surpasses Primer as both. Primer is more straight-forward hard science fiction and ethics lesson. Upstream Color is an emotional tone poem about the unseen connections that exist between things, using a worms' life cycle between human-pig-orchid. It's a story about modern life, mysterious trauma that lies below the surface of consciousness.
This discussion will get spoiler heavy very quickly. Though there will be no spoilers in this first post. If you haven't seen either of these films, they are both on Netflix. Nobody makes films with this much depth and personal control. Carruth finances his films himself. He serves as producer, director, writer, actor, and music composer. Primer was made for a ridiculous $7,000 dollars.
Do yourself a favor and watch his movies. It's well worth your time.
