“IN THE BLUE ROSE, BARON CREATES A UNIQUE AND FASCINATING ENIGMA OF A FILM, ANNOUNCING HIS ARRIVAL WITH A COBALT BLAZE OF CREATIVITY THAT WEARS ITS UNCONVENTIONAL AND OBSCURE BADGE WITH PRIDE.”
– CINERAMA FILM

There is something beautiful and terrifying about the way grief shows up for each of us. How we can’t prepare for it and how unpredictable it is. How it encompasses us in isolation, and how it will wait, patiently, until we face it. How the world insists on continuing on without regard for your newly/violently shifted perspective on life. When you’re grieving, you want everything to stop for you to feel what you’re feeling. But it doesn't. Life just sort of goes on.
This is a film for anyone who has ever lost someone close to them… or who will… so of course it’s a film for all of us.
