Movie recommended to me (haven’t seen it yet):
This is a dark-sci-fi (good, I like those) with observations on the post-catastrophe balance between security and freedom/rights. The cast involves numerous famous actors, encouraged into roles beyond their normal types.
The film was drawn to my attention by someone (Matthew Roberts) with whom I was discussing the process of movie critical/constructive feedback and consequent reworking. Apparently the above movie was a case in point: An early (and unripe) version of it was initially screened in Cannes, resulting in some negative feedback but also support.
The moral of this story (about that film): feedback can be priceless. The consequent partial re- write/shoot/edit of that film, subsequently released on DVD, arguably elevated it to “one you have to see”. Thanks Matt, I’ll check it out.
