The poet’s interpretation of an adolescent girl’s mind through the abstract and reality. <br />It tells the story of girl with conflicted emotions. Confused between love and lust. Love that transcends the norms of gender. It’s not a question of love itself but of the mind’s conflict at societal norms and a break away from it. Poetry is the moving factor of the film along with jarring visions of the protagonists own way of looking at her life. The two loves of her life are oblivious at her confusion and each tries to create a space and tries to give her love but each leaves her in further depths of confusion and the inability to confront her own self or them.<br /><br />Crimson signifies the color of her heart, her mind and her blood. A resonance of the color red which is associated with love, lust and friendship.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/962411228415555136-2508739623101704040?l=crimsonthefilm.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Astraeusnoreply@blogger.com2
