DDirected by Maria Schrader and popular at the Berlin Film Festival earlier this year, its starring Maren Eggert won the festival’s new gender-neutral best performance award . But I was disappointed in a movie in which crises and predicaments seemed laborious and basically predictable. It is not entirely applicable to science fiction, satire or comedy.
We are in a world in the near future (Berlin itself is certainly a very reasonable place for it). The personal life of the archaeologist Alma (Alma) played by Egert is both unhappy and frustrating. She was persuaded by her boss to become a test subject for a new high-tech project: She will conduct a road test on a male “companion” robot that is programmed to be infinitely considerate and helpful, which will take care of all her emotional and physical needs.So Alma suspiciously brought home this dashing humanoid geisha: Tom, playing in elegant and fluent German Dan StevensAfter a difficult and angry start, after appropriately dismissing this soulless adventure for the convenience of survival, Alma inevitably began to think that it might have something. When rejecting Tom, did she just prefer headaches to aspirin?
Of course, the story of the gender transition Stepford Wives has been tried before, in The creepy 2004 Stepford Wives remake, Which is similar to Matt Kane’s recent Middle-aged satire Augie More thoughtful and ambitious with Alex Garland Ex Machina in 2014But in fact, the acting skills and scripts are quite extensive, it’s hard to take it seriously, and it’s not quite as successful as comedy.Sandra Heller (from Tony Erdman) As a company director, her job is to place these robots with their new owners and mistresses. She provides a turning point and in some ways makes her the most interesting character; I wonder if she won’t be better To play Alma.
“I Am Your Man” was released in cinemas and Curzon home theaters on August 13.
