Womb (2010)
Also known as Clone
this film from writer/director Benedek Fliegauf stars Eva Green, Matt
Smith and Hannah Murray. Follow the death of her boyfriend a woman
raises his clone and her feelings for the child become confused.
Clearly this film is
made with a art house style in mind given it's slow pace, minimal
dialogue and excellent landscape shots. The content of the film is
uneasy to watch as it slowly heads towards it's inevitable Oedipus
style conclusion. For all the stylistic flair of the execution the
film never really goes deep enough into really exploring the
conclusions of a society with human cloning, only hinting at
prejudice against them.
4/5
