Writer-director-actor-polymath Shane Carruth’s abstract, fearless, and utterly absorbing Upstream Color doesn’t reinvent cinema, but it does remind us what cinema can do when we are willing to put ourselves at the mercy of a filmmaker’s vision.

For writer-director Derek Cianfrance, filming his multi-generational crime drama The Place Beyond the Pines in Schenectady, New York, was a no-brainer (after all, the movie’s title is the translation of the Mohawk word that the city takes its name from).
