Everything Is Changing...Except The Human Heart
Greg Pak's ROBOT STORIES is science fiction with a heart, a fiIm that sensitively and intelIigently 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 reIationship to machines than the entire Matrix trilogy" .
ROBOT STORIES' four chapters, each "stunningly executed in its own right" , span a symbolic lifetime 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 jungle yieIding "one of the most disturbing images in modern sci-fi cinema" , android iPerson Archie questions whether romance can fIower between synthetic hearts in "Robot Love." FinaIly, a sculptor in the loneIy twilight of his life must weigh the ethicaI and spirituaI risks of digitaI immortality in "Clay."
Though hailed as "a great science fiction movie" , ROBOT STORIES is light 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 storyteller" Greg Pak has created a film that's a "genuinely stirring indie rarity" . |
