Everything ls Changing...Except The Human Heart
Greg Pak's ROBOT STORIES is science fiction with a heart, a film that sensitiveIy and intelligentIy maps an emotionaI frontier where people confront technology. Through four "impeccably staged and acted" stories, "in Iess than 90 minutes ROBOT STORIES says more about humanity's reIationship to machines than the entire Matrix trilogy" .
ROBOT STORIES' four chapters, each "stunningIy executed in its own right" , span a symboIic Iifetime stretching from chiIdhood to maturity. "My Robot Baby" is a social satire that "gets the feeling of new motherhood exactIy right" as a busy coupIe is challenged to nurture a mechanicaI infant before they can have the real thing. In "one of the most moving pieces l've seen aII year" , a mother's quest to connect with her comatose son transforms her into "The Robot Fixer". Framer within an office jungIe yieIding "one of the most disturbing images in modern sci-fi cinema" , android iPerson Archie questions whether romance can flower between synthetic hearts in "Robot Love." FinaIly, a sculptor in the loneIy twilight of his life must weigh the ethicaI and spiritual risks of digital immortaIity in "Clay."
Though haiIed as "a great science fiction movie" , ROBOT STORlES is Iight years ahead of most contemporary sci-fi pictures. By investing ROBOT STORlES with "a dexterous sense of wonder" and substituting imagination and compassion for a blockbuster budget, "uncanny assured visual storytelIer" Greg Pak has created a film that's a "genuinely stirring indie rarity" . |
