Blush (2005)
In 2004 Wim Vandekeybus shot a 52-minute feature based on his successful performance Blush. Carried by the music of David Eugene Edwards and Woven Hand and with texts by the Flemish author Peter Verhelst, Blush is a dazzling voyage swinging between the heavenly landscapes of Corsica and the slummiest depths of Brussels. It is an exploration of the savage subconscious, of mythical forests, of conflicting instincts, of imagination, where the body has reasons unknown to the mind. In dance sequences of attraction, confrontation and repulsion the performers take on animal metamorphoses…

I gave it a 7.5 out of 10
Better Late Then Never
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Brilliant. Freakin' brilliant. While normally TV just can't keep my attention longer than 10 minutes, this movie just got me clustered to the screen. I was planning to go to sleep but I couldn't go before I saw everything of it.The symbolism gets you thinking, the beautiful choreography emotes and the music is a perfect mixture of silences and sound. The "fighting" scenes where something completely new to me. They made me think of some kind of animal-like fighting.There are but few words spoken in the whole thing, but the ones that did were really where they should have been. They did add something to the atmosphere.Hope this rather unknown movie gets to the larger public sometime.
