Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.
Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)
As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.
The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).
Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.
很有意思的一部电影 一直到结局前都有一种莫名的恐慌，人工智能的电影里机器人的进化总是让人不安。在这部电影里，不管是几个忠心耿耿的家用机器人，还是反派（进化过头想取代人类）的yonex都有些衬托出人类真的在这个局面下无能为力
法式幽默片，讽刺了人工智能最后给人类带来巨大的麻烦和威胁。
还行，就是最后突然变成幸福四口之家也太突然了。明明之前互相都跟别人好着哈哈
法庭上，那句重复不断的证言显得如此有力，诉讼时效过去了，不代表事件就结束了
讽刺性剧情，从一场聚会到开启，机器人陪伴着人类的一切衣食住行到后来的产生感情。除了陪伴和解救～“爱丽斯”几乎像人类一样懂自己的主人。从一场被机器人禁锢到人类依靠智慧自救的过程，同时看清了很多的人性的感情本质。最终情感落脚点，是此部电影最成功的一点！
很有意思的黑色幽默科幻片，机器人越来越进化后，就会觉得人类无用，只有低级的家政机器人，还渴望变成人。要实现阿西莫夫三原则太困难了啊。法国人拍的片子，总是少不了床戏。。那两少年少女，满16岁没？
三星半。历史事件大于影片本身，只是羡慕人家波兰能光明正大地拍这个题材。
也就法国人拍出这种片子了， 荒诞喜剧真的是地位尴尬，但不失为一种艺术，只是过于小众，真喜欢不起来……
让学会了专业知识和心理状态的人去对付无辜的百姓，这是这个世界上最恶毒的罪行
在一个空间里的调度确实是太厉害了，极具导演个人的风格。题材太老也没有翻出新意，人工智能的两面性，过于对立。但我仍旧为了那一句“我们是充满缺陷的原创产物”而感动。
3.5 看下来一直到结局感觉都很黑暗，比较客观的视角叙事，政府强行压制言论自由，仿佛世界都不见天日。电影的摄影很棒，场景也特别还原80年代，不过缺点也特别大，就是电影太长了，没有目的性取舍且似乎又有往商业电影的节奏靠拢，明显没有把握住。
热内导演年近七旬已经很多年没什么作品了，这部法式科幻小品其实后半段略显冗长，对于人工智能的探讨也已经司空见惯，但是导演真的建立了一个很不同的未来世界不再是清一色的废土风和赛博朋克，略带复古的色调美术和法式幽默剧情很自然的融合到了一起，一个导演对电影有没有热爱观众是可以感受的，这个与众不同的未来世界值得一看。。。
法国佬的脑洞一向都是这么的感人，前面挺无聊的，但是反派机器人介入后就开始精彩了，好多梗好好笑，虽然是科幻讽刺，但是在现实生活是能找到对应物的，这才是细思极恐的地方
如此在意你的我，怎会读不懂你的眼神和表情？
重复多少次都白费口舌的真相 无法跟捂着耳朵的人讲道理
法国片多数都是废话太多 这部依旧 …前半段真的很墨迹无聊 两个美女姿色不错 我更喜欢那个姑娘…后半段有点意思 最后没明白机械战警是为何把自己设为消灭对象的
执法部门滥用权力侵犯人权，操纵司法和检察机关进行伪造隐瞒，威逼利诱栽赃替罪羊，利用亲属的懦弱和对权力的恐惧瓦解抗争，当种种卑劣行径被针对到面前，当绝望无助的情绪一直环绕在身边，你还能坚守内心那一处微弱的正义么？光亮或许很难照进黑暗的现实，但主角在法庭上一遍又一遍地重复着那句最直白的真相证词时，我相信都在观众心里种下了一颗为正义反抗的种子。
被强权盯上到底有多惨，当权者不是耗死你就是弄死你，手段可谓是是无奇不有，怎么不要脸怎么来，这种情况下我们能做些什么呢？
“你那边可以看到这里吗？”
波兰人的“黎明到来之前”，明显当时的波兰人仍在睡梦中。
