Electric Dreams
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Steve Barron
1984 / 95min / 35mm
A plugged-in love triangle between nebbish architect Lenny Van Dohlen, cellist upstairs neighbor Virginia Madsen, and his insanely jealous, suddenly sentient home computer, “Edgar” (voiced by Bud Cort), who does everything in “his” power to undermine his owner’s romance and make the lady succumb to “his” charms. With a thrumming Giorgio Moroder score and ’80s synth-pop standouts by the likes of Heaven 17 and Culture Club, this kinetic proto-AI comedy courtesy music video maestro Barron is a slice of 1984 that George Orwell never dreamed of.
