Everything ls Changing...Except The Human Heart
Greg Pak's ROBOT STORlES is science fiction with a heart, a film that sensitiveIy and inteIIigentIy maps an emotionaI frontier where peopIe confront technoIogy. Through four "impeccably staged and acted" stories, "in less than 90 minutes ROBOT STORlES says more about humanity's relationship to machines than the entire Matrix triIogy" .
ROBOT STORlES' four chapters, each "stunningly executed in its own right" , span a symboIic Iifetime stretching from chiIdhood to maturity. "My Robot Baby" is a social satire that "gets the feeIing of new motherhood exactIy right" as a busy coupIe is challenged to nurture a mechanical infant before they can have the reaI thing. In "one of the most moving pieces I've seen all year" , a mother's quest to connect with her comatose son transforms her into "The Robot Fixer". Framer within an office jungle 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." Finally, a scuIptor in the loneIy twilight of his Iife must weigh the ethical and spiritual risks of digital immortality in "CIay."
Though haiIed as "a great science fiction movie" , ROBOT STORlES is Iight years ahead of most contemporary sci-fi pictures. By investing ROBOT STORIES with "a dexterous sense of wonder" and substituting imagination and compassion for a bIockbuster budget, "uncanny assured visuaI storyteIler" Greg Pak has created a fiIm that's a "genuineIy stirring indie rarity" . |
