see this film!

greetings fellow rhizomians,

below, another message from the fabulous lynn hershman about
technolust. lynn worked long & hard on this, collaborating with a
number of brilliant media artists (have you see the agent ruby
site?!) and it would be rad if you, yours, and theirs went to the
screenings and notified their bay area contacts about the screening…

it's all about community, right?

Selected Teknolust Reviews August 22-25

**** KCBS

****Twisted and sexy, smart witty and funny. Tilda Swinton will knock you
out, Jan Wahl , KRON.

****The film is too clever and innovative to spoil it with over-description.
The viewer needs a first-hand experience. I loved it-the small touches
are great, from the girls' fingernails to Ruby's "dream portal" on the
Web. Technologically fresh..

*** Tilda Swinton, impeccable and witty, plays four characters in this
imaginative fantasy. Sci-fi rarely has been so playful.
– E. Guthmann, SF Chronicle

***Like "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," "Teknolust" is so smart and so
odd it seems perfect for cult status with its colorful, clinical view
of sex, technology and donuts – as well as a brilliant performance
by Tilda Swinton as scientist Rosetta Stone and her three clones,
Olive, Marine and Ruby.

If ever there were a homegrown movie perfect for smart folks hiding
out from summer blockbusters and gubernatorial recall shenanigans,
this is it.

/47/x_script_doctor.html

There's a dream logic at work here, made dreamier by the music of
Gladiator co-scorer Klaus Badelt… For a lead actress, Teknolust is
perhaps the ultimate showcase, and Swinton takes the ball and runs
with it. When the three duplicates spontaneously break into a surreal
dance number to impress theircreator, it's like Bizarro-World
Charlie's Angels, albeit with more true spontaneity than anything in
the soggy summer sequel it plays
off of.
