Tau (2018)
A woman is held captive by a scientist in a futuristic smart house, and hopes to escape by reasoning with the Artificial Intelligence that controls the house.
An interesting premise gets an unimaginative treatment, especially missing in character development, and the discourse with the Artificial Intelligence lacks credibility.
Local Color (2006)
A talented but troubled 18-year-old aspiring artist befriends a brilliant elderly alcoholic painter who has turned his back on not only art but life.
Nicely told autobiographical tale of an artist and his pupil has good cinematography and an excellent cats, but showcases a rather reactionary concept of Art.
