The Congress

[Machine Translation] The latest work by Ari Folman, the genius behind "Waltz on the Battlefield"! The long-awaited film adaptation of the masterpiece by Stanislaw Lem, one of the great stars of 20th century science fiction! Director Forman sets the film in a Hollywood of the near future and visualizes the ridiculous world of Lem's science fiction novel with an original and dynamic expression. The film captivates all who see it. Robin Wright, the lead actress and producer of the film, plays the role of the aging actress, who has risen to prominence in Hollywood and continues to live her life as a mother and an actor. Her beloved son is played by Kodi Smit-McPhee, who appeared in "Morse" and "Planet of the Apes: The New Age. The supporting cast includes Harvey Keitel and Paul Giamatti, who give a solid outline to this film full of imagination. -In 2014, Hollywood invented the business of scanning actors at the peak of their careers and using the digital data at its disposal to make movies. Keanu Reeves and others have already signed contracts, and Robin Wright, now over 40, has been approached. At first she laughed it off, but then she realized that she was out of season, her acting career was in decline, and she was a single mother with a son with an incurable disease to support. After much deliberation, she sold her data under a 20-year contract in exchange for a huge paycheck. On the screen, Robin's data, still young, continued to play the heroine in the science fiction action film she had refused to appear in. Twenty years later, civilization has accelerated its progress. Robin, with a determination in her heart, once again ventures into Hollywood, which has become a paradise of astonishment.
