Teknolust (2002)
1/10
What a stinker!
8 September 2003
Although I didn't really expect much from this 'film', Tilda Swinton normally knows how to pick her movies (bar Vanilla Sky of course). With The Deep End, The Beach, Love is the Devil, The War Zone and her small part in Adaptation, Ms Swinton picks great characters to play. Unfortunately, her multiple roles here are really tragic.

In Teknolust, she plays Dr Rosetta, and her three dumb ass clone, Ruby, Olive and Marinne. To keep alive, Ruby must venture out of their colour coded basement to collect sperm from willing males, which is then injected into the three girls hands. Without this life saving sperm, they cant survive. Things get complicated when Ruby becomes a wanted women for infecting these pathetic guys with a mysterious virus that leaves a bar-code on their forehead.

Apart from that, the film is incomprehensible. Jeremy Davis proves once again what a poor actor can do with a poor script, and Lynn Hershman-Leeson reminds us why films go direct to video.

On the plus side, i must say it did make me laugh. Try not during the scene where the clones have learnt a 'dance' and perform for their creator. Its the worst green screen attempt I've had the pleasure to witness...
