Yannis Veslemes’ She Loved Blossoms More Sets October 3rd Release via Dark Sky and Yellow Veil

A surreal family experiment fractures reality in She Loved Blossoms More, from director Yannis Veslemes.

Following standout appearances at Tribeca and Fantastic Fest, Yannis Veslemes’ She Loved Blossoms More is finally making its theatrical and digital debut on October 3rd, courtesy of Dark Sky Films and Yellow Veil Pictures Presents. Visually mesmerizing and emotionally unnerving, the film is poised to leave a lasting mark on genre audiences looking for something unclassifiable and deeply affecting.

Originally screened under its international title Agapouse ta louloudia perissotero, the film follows three grief-stricken brothers who attempt to bring their mother back to life by building a strange, makeshift time machine. What begins as a surreal meditation on loss quickly unravels into a feverish spiral when their estranged father reenters the picture, sending the brothers’ reality—and their bodies—into a freefall.

Veslemes, best known for his off-kilter, genre-skewing visual work, co-wrote the film with Dimitris Emmanouilidis and directs with a boldness that borders on the hallucinatory. She Loved Blossoms More fuses science fiction, body horror, dark comedy, and ceremonial grief into a dreamlike experience. Its kaleidoscopic palette, gauzy cinematography, and tonal unpredictability evoke comparisons to Possession, The Holy Mountain, or the early works of Sion Sono and Shinya Tsukamoto—yet the film retains a personality entirely its own.

Anchoring the film are performances by Panos Papadopoulos, Julio Giorgos Katsis, Aris Balis, and Dominique Pinon, each adding a layer of emotional volatility to the abstract structure. The production team includes Fenia Costovista and Alexis Perrin, while the executive producer roster reads like a who’s who in cult and prestige genre filmmaking: Ant Timpson (Come to Daddy, Deathgasm), Christos V. Konstantakopoulos (The Lobster), and Andreas Zoupanos Kritikos (Knock at the Cabin). Their involvement signals a continued commitment to globally minded, fiercely original storytelling.

We first caught She Loved Blossoms More at Panic Fest earlier this year after missing its premiere at Fantastic Fest, and it hasn’t left our minds since. It’s a film that uses its strange design and stylistic risk-taking to explore universal pain—how grief distorts time, memory, and the way families remember those they’ve lost. For audiences seeking clarity or conventional closure, this isn’t that kind of film. For those seeking impact, it’s one of the year’s most unforgettable genre entries.

She Loved Blossoms More opens in select theaters and hits digital/VOD platforms on October 3, 2025. Theatrical rollout and platform availability to follow from Dark Sky Films and Yellow Veil Pictures.
