Golem

In a dark dystopian future, a solitary worker suffers a breakdown after being interrogated about crimes he has no recollection of committing. Is he a real human, or a clone created by scientists in an attempt to engineer a new, more submissive race of humans? A dark satire of the Polish People's Republic in the late 1970s, Piotr Szulkin's Kafkaesque science-fiction allegory is a precursor to Blade Runner, and evokes the troubling apocalyptic landscape of Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker. Its depiction of irresponsible science, fake news and unfettered AI now make it all the more prescient.
