BLUE CITRUS HEARTS

SYNOPSIS

Get sucked into the story of Sam and Julien, two teenage boys on the verge of falling of in
love in this poetically powerful independent film from Memphis.

REVIEW

Artfully gritty, Blue Citrus Hearts is an emotional powerhouse of a film that tells of a love so
strong, and so unexpressed, it burns. This is the story of Sam and Julien, two teenage
boys in love in Memphis, Tenn and their difficulty in uttering the words. Julien is a moody
boy, constantly writing in a journal, but unable to let anyone see his work. His girlfriend
Ariel has just about had it with him. The only bright light in his life is his budding new
friendship with Sam. They go together to the café, show each other their secret places,
wrestle on the grass -- it's obvious they're in love. But these are teenagers -- and they're
just not ready. Then one night Julien shows Sam a poem he's written, called "Blue Citrus
Hearts" and it's about his crush on his best friend.

Made in an experimental style, with lines of poetry scratched into film stock, sometimes
jarring editing and a non-linear story, be prepared for a distinctly non-Hollywood
experience. And this isn't an insult. There's a freshness and an originality missing from
most films today. The soundtrack is strong, and the local music certainly adds flavor to the
film. The actors in the film are pimply high school students-- these aren't 25 year-olds
playing high school students. This portrayal of first love film pulled this jaded writer off the
sofa onto the floor hugging a pillow. The emotions in Blue Citrus Hearts feel real, don't miss
this rare cinematic experience.
