Apocalypse After Blu-ray delivers stunning video and reference-quality audio in this fan-pleasing Blu-ray release
An abandoned seaside resort. The shooting for a fantasy film about the end of an era wraps up. Two women, both members of the film crew, one an actress, the other a director, Apocalypse and Joy, are on the verge of concluding their love affair.
For more about Apocalypse After and the Apocalypse After Blu-ray release, see Apocalypse After Blu-ray Review published by Brian Orndorf on July 18, 2022 where this Blu-ray release scored 3.5 out of 5.
Director Bertrand Mandico made an impression on certain audiences with 2017's "The Wild Boys." It was his first feature-length production, and he
poured everything into its creation, using experience gained after spending a large portion of his life making short films. "The Wild Boys" was weird
and incredibly specific in its moviemaking goals. Dramatic value is debatable, but the endeavor was a striking showcase of craftsmanship, earning him
a loyal fanbase interested in his helming future. Altered Innocence elects to go into Mandico's past with their release of "Apocalypse After," which
offers the 2018 short and ten others to provide an understanding of creative development and artistic vision, identifying Mandico's growing obsessions
as well. It's a high dive into challenging, arresting cinema, with the shorts detailing Mandico's fetishes and pursuit of enigmatic material.
Included on the release are "The Blue Cavalier" (11:10), "He Said He Is Dead" (12:46), "The Life and Death of Henry Darger" (5:43), "Boro in the
Box" (41:57), "Living Still Life" (16:20), "Prehistoric Cabernet" (9:57), "Salammbo" (7:33), "Our Lady of Hormones" (32:40), "Any Virgins Left Alive"
(8:57), "Depressive Cop" (12:37), and "Apocalypse After" (38:12).
The AVC encoded image (2.39:1 aspect ratio) presentation for "Apocalypse After" preserves the artful elements of the short. Color is striking, handling
heavy blues and reds, and distinct
silver costuming is present. Hues are vivid throughout the viewing experience, and skin tones are natural. Detail offers a textured examination of
fantasy additions and clothing, and skin particulars are distinct. Delineation is satisfactory. Grain is fine and film-like. The rest of the shorts vary in age
and intensity, with some black and white offerings and equally hallucinogenic shorts in line with "Apocalypse After."
The 5.1 DTS-HD MA mix on "Apocalypse After" mostly remains a frontal affair, handling dialogue exchanges and breathy narration. Scoring retain a crisp
synth presence with a slight low-end presence. Atmospherics are engaging, along with pronounced sound effects.
Mandico creates challenge work, and he does it with extreme filmmaking care and curiosity, after distinct visual and aural experiences that often make
sense only to him. "Apocalypse After" is entirely bizarre and that's the idea, taking viewers on ride of bodily fluids, environments, lighting, makeup, and
the acting efforts of Elina Lowensohn (who appears in almost everything he makes), trying to reach a specific area of confusion that delights the helmer.
The shorts demand a full surrender to the dreamlike viewing experiences, as traditional dramatic movements aren't welcome here, presenting those
with a specific curiosity about Mandico's work a chance to grasp his foundation as a filmmaker and his unwavering love of the impenetrable.
