THE MACHINE

"The Machine, Dan? The Machine? Surely you must mean Ex Machina, the dark, sensual drama about a young programmer falling into the thrall of an eerily human-like android, the film that grabbed so much attention earlier this year. That's the film you're talking about, right?" No, no I'm actually talking about The Machine, another film entirely. But in an curious way, I'm talking about Ex Machina as well, because it turns out there are some interesting parallels between the two films, in sufficient quantity that I think it's well-worth discussion.
