White Blood (2023)
Fragility of life
If you want a blockbuster then this is not the movie for you!
Rather it's a thought provoking, moving film about the fragility of life.
Mark (Liam Walker) initially seems like he is making the ultimate sacrifice for someone he loves but is it a convenient escape for his own drug dependent hopelessness and despair of a dark future.
While Betty (Arielle Cartwright) has a devastating illness, chooses hope and courage instead of submitting to Mark's escape.
The couple's relationship unravels because Betty decides she is not ready to let go, despite making a pact with Mark; however after exchanging wedding vows in a picturesque valley free from her impending pain and fatigue she has a change of heart.
As the mood darkens between the couple so to the heavily atmospheric scenery turns dark and oppressive. Will the relationship ever recover, who can say!
I like that the movie ends in a "grey" area where we are left to ponder the tragedy of fate!
A well made art house film that deserves more notice.
