Congrats to Robert on his first feature, which had a very successful premiere at Karlovy in early July 2023, where the Czeck director was awestruck by the two standing ovations.
Variety’s Guy Lodge opines “director Robert Hloz’s whopper of a calling-card debut may offer a more credibly subdued, budget-constrained visual of the mid-21st century than the lavishly built “Blade Runner 2049” — unless we’re in for a drastic design (r)evolution over the course of the 2040s — but its ideas are sky-high in concept. Robert Hloz shows Hollywood-level chops in a resourceful, niftily plotted vision of a near future where human life can’t always be saved, but it can be rebooted.”
Screen Daily calls it a “stylish, high-concept self-contained piece of storytelling.”
Following its home premiere in Karlovy Vary’s Special Screenings section, it will make its North American debut at the genre-specific Fantasia Festival.
