Sign In. After Yang Hide Spoilers. As the husband tries to get him note, not "it" refurbished, he learns more about Yang's life, both with his family and the one before he met them. It's touching to see what was notable to Yang, who is more human-like or even Christ-like than machine, and Kogonada explores what it means to be a conscious organism in a world where technology could possibly create consciousness. Despite the premise, After Yang seems to deal more with death and the loss of a gentle person in one's life than it does with the traditional themes of robots in science fiction. It certainly doesn't pursue some of the more interesting angles, e. The privacy breach Yang represents. When the company "recycles" technos, you see, it has access to a massive amount of information about the family they were with. We see that Yang is warm and gentle, in direct contrast to specter of a high-tech Big Brother or the cool, emotionless tension we see in the parents, and it made me wonder whether it was possible to create organisms that are better than humans, and not the apocalyptic Terminator type devices seen elsewhere.

In just his second feature, 'Columbus' director Kogonada emerges as a major voice — although audiences may have to lean in to hear it. By Peter Debruge. Chief Film Critic. Dick project might. Kogonada uses innovation not to alarm, but as license to ruminate on how certain human functions work, among them memory, attachment and what we think of as individuality. That film felt like the live-action equivalent of a Chris Ware comic strip: smart, a little schematic, a lot melancholy, its every frame seemingly mapped out on graph paper in advance. This film is similarly precise, with its desaturated palette, meticulous framing and near-mathematical cutting style consider the opening-credits dance contest or the sly way one shot lingers on an empty room long enough to discover an intruder. Farrell, who typically comes across agitated and aggressive, has never given such an understated performance, and Kogonada dials it down even further by shooting the actor from a distance and from semi-inscrutable angles — a trick he lifted from Ozu.
