Nick Peterson's Yellow is that most unexpected thing – a Gen–Y musical! Amid the grainy, the gritty, and the grim – in contrast to virtually every other indie "first film" out there – Peterson brings the lyricism of song to his characters’ interactions and the lusciousness of primary colors to his visuals. Peterson has the most sensuous “eye” of any recent filmmaker. Yellow is visually delicious, acoustically sumptuous, and completely original in its sensibility. It doesn't hurt that it is also deeply perceptive and penetrating – an eye- and ear-opener of a movie. It is the first installment in a planned “color trilogy;” Blue will be next.
