Children of Men**
GB 2006. Universal/Ingenious Film Partners 2 LLP/Toho-Towa. 109m.
In an infertile society of the near future, a civil servant stumbles upon the world's only pregnant woman.
Dingy looking British science faction, a sort of Blade Runner without the slickness, or Brazil without the black comedy, drawing upon contemporary issues in sometimes heavy-handed fashion. Relentlessly gloomy but never dull, with some bravura scenes and good cameos.
Written by: Alfonso Cuaron, Timothy J. Sexton, David Arata, Mark Fergus, Hawk Ostby, from the novel by P.D. James.
Producers: Hilary Shor, Iain Smith, Tony Smith, Marc Abraham, Eric Newman.
Director: Alfonso Cuaron.
Starring: Clive Owen, Michael Caine, Julianne Moore, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Pam Ferris, Clare Hope-Ashitey, Charlie Hunnam, Danny Huston, Peter Mullan.
Photography: Emmanuel Lubezki.
Music: John Tavener.
Production Design: Jim Clay, Geoffrey Kirkland.

Derek and I just watched this film on DVD. I didn't like it--I couldn't quite catch on to what the heck was going on. Who are these Fish? Why did they kill Julian? Hey, who's that? Why'd they do that? Whoa, wait a minute, if old dude is a hippy, wouldn't he be like 95 years old? Huh? Why hasn't that girl fed that baby yet--it's going to starve before the Human Project find her. And what happened to Clive's flip-flops? Was I just not paying attention?
