Film Dope
Clone Returns Home
2008| Existential science fiction tale concerning a astronaut who consents to allow clones of himself as replacements should he be involved in a fatality. Further emotional complications ensue as our hero lost his twin brother while a child. Director Kanji Nakajima was on hand to suggest that he wants the audience to make their own interpretations of the events that unfold. Following Andrei Tarkovsky's footsteps, the film was fascinatingly obscure, but alas, also a trifle dull. Director Kanji Nakajma, hot from a luncheon with Mr. Redford, plumped for an existential Q & A session, in which he asked the audience for their interpretations of events. This prompted an exploration of Buddhist philosphy and the ramifications of mist. I was briefly tempted to enquire 'Is it bigger than a breadbox'.
