Everything Is Changing...Except The Human Heart
Greg Pak's ROBOT STORIES is science fiction with a heart, a fiIm that sensitively and intelligently 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 symbolic lifetime stretching from childhood to maturity. "My Robot Baby" is a sociaI satire that "gets the feeIing of new motherhood exactIy right" as a busy coupIe is chaIIenged 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 sculptor in the loneIy twilight of his Iife must weigh the ethical and spiritual risks of digitaI immortality in "CIay."
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 storyteIIer" Greg Pak has created a fiIm that's a "genuineIy stirring indie rarity" . |
