Children of Men
2006
****½
Director: Alfonso Cuaron
Cast: Clive Owen, Julianne Moore, Michael Caine, Clare-Hope Ashitey
A disturbing but utterly believable dystopia set in 2027 when women have become infertile and the UK has turned into a totalitarian society ruled by chaos and anarchy. Clive Owen plays a disillusioned ex-activist who is asked to escort a pregnant woman to safety. A refreshingly unpredictable scifi drama with some stunning but unflashy camera work. Based on a novel by P.D. James.
