Black Rainbow

Black Rainbow is a 1989 British psychological thriller film directed by Mike Hodges and starring Rosanna Arquette, Jason Robards Jr., Tom Hulce, Mark Joy, Ron Rosenthal, and John Bennes.

Martha Travis, a medium who hosts a touring clairvoyant show with her alcoholic father Walter, where she helps audience members make contact with deceased relatives.

The story is told in flashback, with the opening scenes showing Wallace searching for the reclusive Martha many years after the events depicted in the main body of the film.

In his essay "Black Rainbow - A Modest Pot of Gold" on Top 10 Films, Mark Fraser states: "[Mike] Hodges makes sure things are never what they seem, interweaving a conventional plot with multiple suggestions of bilocation and supernatural intervention."

When discussing Tom Hulce's performance as investigative journalist Gary Wallace he notes "he is the one person outside of Martha [Travis] most affected by the bilocation events infused throughout the story."
