Womb is one of the strangest love stories you're ever likely to see. If your loved one died suddenly and you had the power to clone them and raise them as your own child just to have them in the world, would you? One woman (Eva Green) makes that choice. It gets strange from there, and it didn't feel particularly normal before that. This is a quiet, thoughtful film that plays on your perceptions a great deal. Scenes that would seem innocuous between mother and child take on an upsetting bent when that child is identical to the woman's lover (but then, don't all children have their father's/mother's DNA?). Weaved into the film is how people would react to cloning, including the clones themselves. There's a gray beauty to the film, mostly shot on a chilly, austere German beach, and visually brings to the fore themes of life/unlife, with shots that look like still life paintings, a bleak nurturing sea, and so on. A lot to think about. 7 years 3 months ago -

Fantastic. Quiet, moving, troubling. Mind-blowing performances, breath-taking locations, and a story that makes you think. 9 years 7 months ago
