Yannis Veslemes‘ psychedelic rumination on death and time, SHE LOVED BLOSSOMS MORE, finally arrives beyond its wildly successful festival run. Three brothers, longing to bring their dead mother back to life, build a time machine. Hedgehog, Dummy, and Japan reside in their family estate, experimenting with household items and unresolved grief.

Fair warning: if you are sensitive to light or sound, the film can be overwhelming, but inarguably hypnotic. Performances, particularly Panos Papadopoulos, are fantastic.

Production designer Elena Vardava delivers a sumptuous and enveloping atmosphere of jewel-toned furnishings and eclectic wares. The FX team brings wide-eyed gazes with the brothers’ trials, which include a skinless pig and a headless chicken, to start. But the pièce de résistance is the transformation of Dummy’s girlfriend, Samantha.
