After Blue (Dirty Paradise)

After Blue (Dirty Paradise, 2022) is a psychedelic sci-fi western you can watch online on iFILM, dreamed up by French director Bertrand Mandico. Set in a far future on a wild, women-only planet, it follows a lonely teenager named Roxy.

When Roxy unwittingly frees a mystical, sensual killer from an underground prison, the planet sends her off to hunt the escapee down. What follows is less a plot than a fever dream — hand-built sets, smeared neon light, bodies and landscapes that feel painted rather than filmed. Paula Luna, Elina Löwensohn and Vimala Pons headline. Mandico chases pure texture over story, and that's the whole gamble: arthouse viewers hungry for something strange will feast, while everyone else may bounce right off.
