The Congress (2013)
This week we're discussing the incredibly timely sci-fi film The Congress (2013), in which Robin Wright, playing herself, is faced with the choice of whether to sell her likeness to a Hollywood studio that will use it to make artificially generated movies. Sound familiar? Ari Folman's prescient work also explores drug use, virtual reality, and class division in a society crumbling under late stage capitalism. Join John, Dixon, and Ryan as they embark on this trippy animated journey into the not so distant future.
