THN have teamed up with those wonderful folks at ShowFilmFirst to offer you the first chance to see THE CONGRESS on August 10th in London, that’s five days before it’s official UK cinema release.
The unique looking movie is directed by Ari Folman, the visionary director of WALTZ WITH BASHIR, and follows ageing actress (Robin Wright, playing a version of herself) who chooses to take her final job: one that’ll preserve her digital likeness for a future Hollywood. The deal is set up by longtime agent (Harvey Keitel) and the head of Miramount Studios (Danny Huston). Her virtual alias will be controlled by the studio, and will star in any film they want with no restrictions. In return, she receives healthy compensation so she can care for her ailing son.
Twenty years later, under the creative vision of the studio’s head animator (Jon Hamm), Wright’s digital double rises to immortal stardom. With her contract expiring, she is invited to take part in “The Congress” convention as she makes her comeback straight into the world of future fantasy cinema.
