What I call a contradictory impression. The first thing to say is that people, the film declares itself as a film adaptation of the book "Futurological Congress", do not believe it in any way and never. This film has nothing in common with the book - the main character in the book was a man, the love theme was completely absent, cinema there was absolutely nothing to do with, there were robots that revived holograms, there was a distant future, and not in 20 years. None of that is in the movie. Moreover, there is NOT ONE common character in the film and the book, everything has been replaced. Only 3 scenes remained in common (there are only 3 scenes!) - storming the hotel, immersion in cryogen and awakening from the illusion in the restaurant. I would like to say to the author - if you are filming your story, then shoot yours, do not write what Stanislav Lem says. In someone else’s glory, did you want to leave? However, despite this, the film is very good in itself, it has a number of strong scenes and the theme of devaluing reality is conveyed quite poshly. Most of all, I remember the scene of scanning the actress - when the producer tells her a story, and every turn of her is reflected in the face of the heroine - everything changed on it: joy, expectation, surprise, anxiety, grief. Well played, amazing. Another strong impression was left by the scene of turning into a cartoon - to see your new reflection in the mirror of the car for the first time. Good and acting and computer animation. In my opinion, one plot stain spoiled everything - this is the son of the heroine. Which is not needed in this film anywhere. It does not fit into the overall global story of how the real world melts under tons of illusions. He interferes with the development of the theme of actors, the topic of drug addiction, he interferes with the characters and makes the ending completely unrelated to the rest of the film. The heroine herself left for old age in Multitown, left forever, that is, she left her family. And then 20 years later, she suddenly remembers that she should find a deaf son. . .
