We're back! On this weeks episode of Cinematic Breadcrumbs, Elise Hernke returns to the pod with hopes of more consistently releasing episodes from here on out, to talk about "Gattaca."
Currently streaming on Hulu & Criterion, "Gattaca" is a 1997 sci-fi thriller starring Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman and Jude Law. It takes place in a "not so distant future" dystopian society where predetermined gene modification becomes the status quo and those who do not partake are forcibly left behind. In this episode, we discuss some current talking points like the rise of pro-natalism happening in the tech community, how AI is being used in the film world and what was happening in the 90's to lead to a movie like this.
