Robin Wright d/ Ari Folman
A truly mind-bending, original adaptation of a novel by Czech master Stanislaw Lem. The first half hour deals with the trials of an aging actress (called Robin Wright) and her decision to allow herself to be digitized...completely. Her body, emotions, gestures...all the things that make her what she is were reduced to code...available for use by the studio as they saw fit.
The next hour and a half is strikingly animated...very colorful, imaginative and serves as a blistering condemnation of the entertainment world and the role of fantasy and dreams induced by drugs (soma-like) to shield people from the harsh realities of the world in which they live.
Folman previously did Waltz With Bashir and with this as a follow-up he marks himself as one of the true originals in international cinema. Film is not for everyone but for a jaded buff like me it was manna from heaven.
