Can Shane Carruth top Primer with his long awaited Follow-up?
Despite the full festival and eventual cult success of Primer, the engineer and mathie turned filmmaker has been quite silent ever since, although quiet rumblings have been around for about a year that he was cooking up something worthy of a follow up. Now The Playlist has gotten a hold of this script, A Topiary, and are scratching their heads in an attempt to summarize the film. Do you want to know more:
Intrigued? Oh yes.
"The main story, at first ambiguous in its relation to the prologue, revolves around ten boys aged seven to eleven living in a small rural town. The boys are in possession of a mysterious black box which in turn creates mysterious white discs. The group of kids are at once puzzled and fascinated by the nature of the box, and eventually manipulate the discs into other peculiarly named artifacts (petals, arcs, fronds, etc.). Their creations and constructions lead up to their manufacturing of seemingly sentient quasi-mechanical beings. Almost as if 'Topiary' were an abstract arthouse take on Pokémon, you can imagine the competition and troubles the beings create amongst the children."
Intrigued? Oh yes.
