The Congress
Directed by Ari Folman
Produced by Entre Chien et Loup, Opus Film
A surreal, visually audacious meditation on identity, aging, and the commodification of the self in a digitized future.
An aging, out-of-work actress accepts one last job, though the consequences of her decision affect her in ways she didn't consider.
