Logline

Yellow

"A searing take on modern society and the demands it makes on people. It is the story of Mary Holmes, a young substitute teacher who escapes from her drudging everyday life by fantasizing bizarre parallel realities. We enter her hallucinatory world, peopled with Busby Berkeley dancers, circus freaks and human farm animals where nothing is quite what it seems. YELLOW is a wildly inventive and visually dazzling head-trip... "
Atlas International

"An unhinged portrait of emotional turmoil with bold stabs at expressionistic representation at every turn. It's not only Cassavetes' best movie, but also a fascinating alternative to conventional melodrama that burrows inside its troubled protagonist's head and unleashes her emotions in vivid terms..."
Eric Kohn, www.indiewire.com
