The wild bunch, bold cinematic rebels and adventurous films
GERMANY | 88 minutes | 2019
The robots of the future are almost upon us, so be prepared! Through two parallel subjects – a Japanese grandmother with a domestic robot and a run-of-the-mill American with a humanoid girlfriend – the filmmaker investigates humanity’s looming social problems in an unpredictable future coming faster than we naively expected. The oddly chilling Hi, A.I. employs irony and absurdity to brilliantly confront the gaps in communication, love and emotion that are in store. Reminiscent of David Lynch, with the warped humour of Werner Herzog, this fascinating documentary will haunt you for a long time to come.In collaboration with RIDM."... says more about humans than it does about robots. Loneliness, disconnection, and isolation appear to develop in tandem with A.I." povmagazine"...amazingly entertaining. Hi, A.I. is an engaging and far-reaching look at what exactly it is to be human in a social sense." Filmera« Willinger filme aussi (voire surtout) les moments où l’illusion humaine se fissure malgré la virtuosité technologique. ... un mélange d’espoir naïf et de fêlures assez émouvant. » Le Polyester
