A woman (Lindsey Elisabeth Cork) has a disturbing dream that finds her
at a strange place which creates undeterminable fears in her until she
finds herself at a place of light, where she meets a mysterious woman
(Jocelyn Padilla) who might be the gatekeeper of heaven or hell or who
might be the person who can give our heroine enlightenment. In real
life, the mysterious woman is our first woman's girlfriend, and they share
the same bed, and she has a similar dream, sharing many of the same
images, a dream that eventually leads to their separation on the path of
enlightenment ... Above is not so much an actual synopsis of The
Nature of the Flame as an interpretation of the same, as the movie
follows a dreamlike logic and relies on atmosphere rather than narrative
build-up - which makes the movie quite fascinating though, as it's a sure
bet that each viewer will take something different home from it, will
probably see a vastly different story. And add to that that the film is
quite beautifully shot and acted, and you're in for not so much a movie
but more a nice (if short) experience.
If at all interested, do check out the teaser ...
