(R)Evolutie plot
The year is 2040. Large parts of the Netherlands have been flooded and millions of people have sought refuge in Limburg; the last refuge where everyone hopes for a new life as they knew it. But nothing is left to chance in this sanctuary. Doctor Frank (Bruno Vanden Broecke), the gene doctor, helps you find the ideal child with the best genes and brains. And Alecto (Angela Schijf), an all-controlling, self-learning artificial intelligence, is always helpful in all decisions. From lunch to love, it's best to leave your affairs to Alecto. This new world offers the perfect relationship with a partner exactly as we dream of him or her, and even the sex is better in virtual rooms. But how do you find your own way when everything is based on data, coincidence no longer exists and the role of humans seems to be becoming less and less important?

In 2040, the dependence on technology in the Netherlands has become so great that many people blindly trust an AI called Alecto [Angela Schijf]. In this story by Yael Ronen and Dimitrij Schaad, with a screenplay by Eddy Terstall, we discover the influence these Alectas have on the lives of their owners. Tatjana [Anniek Pheifer] is a single woman who has not yet come to terms with her broken relationship with her ex-husband; Rene [Michiel Sluysmans] and Lana [Jouman Fattal] try to fulfill their child wish and seek help from Dr. Frank [Bruno Vanden Broecke], who, under the influence of his own Alecta, begins to have doubts about his relationship with Ricky [Michiel Blankwaardt]. Toneelgroep Maastricht was working on this play when the Covid crisis thwarted their plans and decided to turn it into a film. That explains why this film relies on dialogue and justifies the often static direction, although it does offer Hermans the opportunity to effectively end the scene in the restaurant. Schijf puts in a great performance and Terstall's sharp dialogues and smart observations are other big plus points in this worth seeing tragicomedy.

Well no.
What a horribly static video this was. The theater happening (of Toneelgroep Maastricht) radiates from it. I don't like it very much. In terms of content, the film is also quite depressing. Beautiful images of the Gashouder in Maastricht, that is! 4/10*

We live in a matrix that is in a matrix again, and we will soon go one more layer deeper and into the next fully controlled layer of the matrix, the last one where all humanity will be gone. This film shows a number of facets in this well.
