The Color Wheel is a 2011 American independent film co-written, co-produced, edited, directed by and co-starring Alex Ross Perry. Perry co-wrote the film with Carlen Altman, who both also play the respective lead roles.
A screwball black comedy, the film follows adult siblings J.R. (Altman) and Colin (Perry) as they undertake a road trip to move J.R.'s belongings out of the home of her former lover and college professor (Bob Byington). Shot on black-and-white 16mm film, the film is noted for its unusual and abrasive style, rapid-fire dialogue, and dark plot.
After premiering at festivals in 2011, the film was named the best undistributed film of the year by the Indiewire[1] and Village Voice[2] polls, and placed 12th in a similar poll conducted by Film Comment.[3]
The Color Wheel was released in a limited release in the United States on May 18, 2012, by Factory25.
