She Loved Blossoms More

The Greek weird wave just got gloriously weirder with Yannis Veslemes’ existential fever dream about time travel and family ties. 

In an attempt to try and bring their mother back from the dead, three brothers are working on an unusual time machine in a dilapidated house. Pressured by their father and seemingly working against the clock, they skip a step or two with devastating consequences. Yannis Veslemes manages to balance humour and body horror perfectly, crafting a stunning sci-fi that’s visually unforgettable. With grief at its heart, She Loved Blossoms More feels like an acid-induced 90s fever dream that asks us to confront our relationship to loss and memory. 

“She Loved Blossoms is an all-too-rare treasure, a sumptuous beast that both dazzles the eye and joyfully, playfully and willfully befuddles the brain.” - Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, Alliance of Women Film Journalists
