Imagine a wonderful
actress forty year old. Imagine that she is very beautiful and talented.
Imagine now that she has given up some important roles for family reasons.
Imagine that she is scanned to live forever young on the big screen.
Practically imagine Robin Wright who plays herself (or rather, a fictional
version of herself) in the new film by Ari Folman, The Congress.
The story is a
loose adaptation of Stanislaw Lem’s The Futurological Congress from 1971, and
follows a version of Wright who has sold Hollywood the digital rights to a
younger version of her entire being. This looks like a really cool sci-fi story
with some poignant social commentary on Hollywood and maybe the future of
cinema. The film also stars Harvey Keitel and Paul Giamatti and premieres as
part of the Directors' Fortnight sidebar at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. The
trailer for this highly anticipated movie was released a few hours ago and I
love it. And you? I wonder if they will mention Santa Barbara ... Meanwhile, on
May 16 Robin Wright will be in Cannes. Who wants to come with me? ;o)
