LUXrewind – A. I. Artificial Intelligence

This strikingly timely sci-fi classic, conceived by Stanley Kubrick and brought to completion by Steven Spielberg, offers a captivating glimpse into the future, asking: what if AI could love? There will be a short introduction in advance. 

In a post-apocalyptic world where advancements in robotics have peaked, human-like mechanical companions are designed to satisfy every desire – including love. David, the first boy-robot of his kind, sets off on a Pinocchio-inspired odyssey to become ‘a real boy’ and regain his mother’s affection, navigating a world of human cruelty and mechanical indifference. With its retro-futurist sheen, bursts of unpredictable action, and lingering existential melancholy, A.I. Artificial Intelligence re-emerges two decades on with renewed urgency. In an era obsessed with artificiality and technologically mediated intimacy, the film invites us to contemplate not only what it means to be human, but what it truly means to love.
