Seeing as, for me at least, one of the key ideaologies within techno is the fusion of the organic and the synthetic, the warm soul of man and the cold soul of the machine. Much of Cronenberg's works explore themes of similar fusions, contrasts and blurring the line between the organic and synthetic . Check, for example, Naked Lunch, VideoDrome (Come on that movie is totally techno!) and eXistenZ. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brendan Nelson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Anya K Stang" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, August 16, 2004 12:04 PM Subject: RE: (313) Techno Films I'm generally agreed with everyone on the Blade Runner, Metropolis and 2001 mentions. Solaris, though, has always struck me as being a bit of an "ambient" film, or more accurately a "Basic Channel" film; when I watch it, I can't help thinking how it would work with a dubbed soundtrack by Vainqueur or Maurizio... Here are another two which I've not noticed anyone mention so far (although I may have just missed them) - Robocop (it's set in Detroit!) and Brother From Another Planet (Claude Young used the title as a pseudonym!). So both fairly techno films, and with heavily on-topic aspects to them as well. Maybe Robocop is more of a "rave" film though?
