Official Synopsis In a near-future world, a lonely, physically challenged man purchases a companion robot to escape his isolation. But his own insecurities and a jealous brother threaten his chances of ever finding love. Review Films about robots interacting with humans and the possible dangers that could bring have been with us since the silent era. Technology brings such fare ever closer to science fact than science fiction. With his intriguing feature Personhood , writer/director/editor Richard Jordan examines emotional problems that may occur when “artificial humans” become lovers with human beings.  Waylen (Elliot Harris) is a physically challenged man who viewers learn right away craves intimacy, and that initial scene shows him going about things in a privacy-invading manner. He seems to be highly successful in his professional life and he lives in a beautiful, spacious, well-appointed home. The beautiful Gala (Agathe Levi) arrives at his front gate and proclaims that she will be very happy. Because the synopsis states that she is a companion robot, we shouldn’t consider that a spoiler here. The film does a wonderful job of making things seem somewhat unusual before outright stating what Gala is.  Waylen is uncomfortable with Gala and she is sympathetic

Scrolling through social media, it feels as though “indie sleaze” never went away. Grainy flash photography, smudged eyeliner and a soundtrack of early 2000s indie music are once again dominating feeds. This revival is more of a reworking than a straightforward comeback. Today’s indie sleaze – exemplified in the music video for Charli XCX’s new track, Rock Music – is an algorithmically curated version of a once messy, participatory subculture. Its renewed appeal seems to lie partly in this aesthetic of imperfection, partly in its connection to earlier digital platforms and partly in what it evokes – a specific cultural moment associated with pre-social media digital life. The original “indie sleaze” moment emerged in the early-mid 2000s, connecting with music, fashion, nightlife and online culture. It coalesced around a wide mix of genres, including electro and “indie” rock, particularly bands from New York such as The Strokes and Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and in the UK The Libertines, Long Blondes, Arctic Monkeys and Franz Ferdinand. However, it was more than just the music – the visuals and lifestyle played a core part. No one’s 20s and 30s look the same. You might be saving for a mortgage or just struggling to
