Reviews
Wow! Such a good movie.
Instant Favorite.
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Set in Amman, Jordan during Black September, when the PLO attempted to take over the kingdom by force, this odd little movie features an ongoing dialog between a British journalist and an android in the form of an attractive woman. She's the survivor of a contact mission to Earth. The political dimension of their dialog largely falls flat, but the ideas about robots that the movie explores are fascinating. Look for the discussion of the typewriter - she complains that his pounding of the keys was 'hurting it' and of the vacuum cleaner, which she likens to a rat.
