After much anticipation Daisy Hook has brought us yet
another thriller and it’s a thrilling as ever... Since her last appearance on
our screens as the director and actress of koi, we’ve been waiting with bated
breath for her second instalment hoping it will be in as tip top condition as
last time. Since her last project daisy has decided to go solo, so hopefully
she will still bring the enchantment and fun of her last film with her. Well, she’s
back. And she’s back with a bang!
In a “lesser of two evils” situation, VIVID follows a young
girl in her mundane routine, taking her pills every morning (appearing to be
the catalyst for), being bombarded by the very un-ordinary. The Film brings up
issues of drugs, mental health and imagination.
From the bare blank face of Clara we can assume that this is
not the first time this has happened to her. In reality after speaking to the
director this has been her life. Day after day. Drug after drug. Hallucination
after hallucination. This is a usual happening in Daisy’s films; she takes the
unordinary and makes it ordinary and tolerable.
This film brings together clever camera work, intelligent
and first-hand accounts of how drugs can change, this film really gives you a
sense of empathy for the Clara.
The film altogether has the feel of the thriller genre but
as you will see the film lulls you into a false sense of security, for as the
film goes on it gets darker and darker until…. Well I’ll let you find out.
