Bends you mind about

Can one say

a. This film bends your mind about the whole idea of genre.
b. This film overwhelms you about the whole idea of genre.
?

The idea is that the film makes you change what you think about the idea of genre radically.

Many Thanks.

A is slang and may indicate an inordinate change and perhaps not for the better. B can indicate a resulting confusion about genre. It is best to go with what you used in your 'explanation': The film radically changes your concept of genre.
