Story
Karsh, an innovative entrepreneur and grieving widower, creates a device to communicate with the dead in a shell.
Quoted in Film Junk Podcast: Episode 961: In a Violent Nature + TIFF 2024 (2024)
It’s not a terrible film in its essence, the problem is that it’s built around so many ideas and themes that it’s hard not to get lost in all the confusion.
It’s a critique of technological advancements, AI, privacy, and privacy
Spyware, (experimental) surgery and health, Chinese, capitalism, rich people, modern society and so on and so forth…
This film can be viewed as “so bad it’s good again”, at least that’s how I see it, I certainly didn’t suffer from it
The bad script doesn’t help either, the dialogues can be stupid or just explanations, the story jumps back and forth between characters and plot lines in a haphazard manner, and I know (or at least think) that some of the dialogues are self-conscious and don’t take themselves seriously, making the film cheesy, funny (the audience laughed every now and then) and, frankly, entertaining.
