Siskoid
Tilda Swinton plays a scientist and her three "clones" (or rather, synthetic people based on her DNA) in Teknolust, an indie science fiction film that has some charm, but the science is so flighty, it probably should fall in the same category as something like Weird Science and Short Circuit. It's not important HOW any of it is happening, what you're really watching is these artificial women self-actualize and become independent with varying results. Their "mother" is involved in a plot to keep them safe and secret, and grows along the way too. But there's something more going on. The synthezoids need to steal sperm to survive and apparently carry a computer virus that affects their victims, which smacks of a feminist message I'm failing to grasp. So while I applaud the novelty, and am a fan of lo-fi sci-fi like this, some elements do feel a little random, or if not random, under-developed. 2 years 2 months ago
