Tonight on TV: Unnoticed, this sci-fi tale offers the ‘Game of Thrones’ star his best film role

Emilia Clarke, it’s not just Game of Thrones! It is also the two blockbusters, Terminator Genisys and Solo: A Star Wars Story, or the excellent The Pod Generation, which Canal+ broadcasts this evening, that allow him to find his best role.

Baby-making technology? This is what we face The pod generation, which oscillates between comedy of manners and science fiction. Not content with being highly entertaining, the film raises some really interesting questions about the evolution of society and the rise of artificial intelligence in particular…

Released in cinemas in 2023, The pod generation, unfairly overlooked, immerses viewers in a near future where artificial intelligence takes precedence over nature. Rachel and Elvis decide to have a baby. The tech giant, which extols the virtues of easier and more equitable childbirth, is offering parents-to-be the option of carrying their baby in a POD. Elvis is skeptical, but Rachel, a rising businesswoman, encourages him to take on the experience…

original, funny and funny, The pod generation, which challenges our relationship with technology as well as the instrumentalization of creatures by capitalist society, shows a future that is believable to say the least. The questions this satire asks about the evolution of our society, relevant (and a little scary), will make you think a lot.

Sophie Barthes, a French filmmaker living in the United States whom we met last October, has long wanted to make a film about ectogenesis, the reproduction process that allows embryos and fetuses to develop in an artificial womb. In his opinion, this represents the final stage in the commercial exploitation of scientific and technological progress.

“We can well imagine that what is shown in the film will become commonplace in four or five years.”

“It’s commoditized and taken to extremes”says the director. “A slightly exaggerated view of what is happening in the United States, where everything is constantly facilitated by new technologies, where everything is sold and where we are constantly immersed in a culture of consumption – we can perfectly imagine that what the film shows. It will become normal in four or five years.”

“Every day I feel more and more like I’m living in science fiction every day: companies in the United States are making decisions every day because they can establish technologies that can change the course of humanity.”complete Sophie Bart.

What if you went out tonight to see a sci-fi movie that’s as funny as it is stimulating, starring a very popular actor? It depends on you!

Tonight on Canal+ at 9 o’clock.
