THE GIRL FROM MONDAY

You can’t get much more outside the system than Hal Hartley’s latest. In a dystopic future that looks very much like the present except that there are more SWAT cops around, the "Revolution" has put a corporation named Three M in charge of everything. Consumption is the ultimate goal, people have sex to up their market value, and nobody would be caught dead without a barcode. The only resistance to this Brave New World comes from "counter-revolutionaries with no credit rating" led by a corporate insider (Bill Sage) with a bad case of weltschmerz. Oh, and then there are the alien "immigrants." Hartley, an indie icon for decades, proves that alternative doesn’t necessarily mean original as he raids films ranging from Ron Howard’s Splash to Chris Marker’s "La jetée" for inspiration. (84 minutes)
