Are you aware of Leni Riefenstahl's early film 'The Blue Light' (1932)? Here as well there is a sense that such a colour is not of nature, and though its mystic quality attracts, there may also be a hidden danger. At once a kind of Lovecraftian quest but also a demythology - which interested me more - in which youth is to be saved from mysticism and unnatural death.

There is also more recent quasi-riff film which is not as well known.
