Summary
Remarkable anthology series, a collection of ten independent chapters based on the science fiction and fantasy short stories of Philip K. Dick, with a dazzling production and the attractiveness of a numerous first-rate cast in atypical roles and settings that includes Brian Cranston, Geraldine Chaplin, Steve Buscemi, Anna Paquin, Sidse Babett Knudsen (the protagonist of Borgen) and Vera Farmiga among many others.
In the midst of an offer with so many series that in general develop (and often stretch) a story and the same characters throughout several chapters (and seasons), the generosity of a series that displays such variety and conciseness with that makes.
Review
Philip Dick's Electric Dreams is an anthology series made up of ten independent chapters based on stories by Philip Dick.
The stories include several constants of the famous writer of a science fiction of social and psychological projections and the occasional moralizing message in generally dystopian worlds: the human condition as opposed to that of humanized machines, loneliness, guarded societies, alternative realities, uchronies, the differences between reality and representation or fantasy, dystopian worlds, mutant beings), distributed, however, in a varied range of stories that cross science fiction or the fantasy genre with family or couple dramas, noir, police or political-social conflicts and with rather lonely protagonists faced with an adverse reality and who do not fully understand.
This Channel Four series unfolds a dazzling production that turns each episode into a wonderfully photographed, cinematic-grade medium-length film.
On the other hand, Electric Dreams brings together a cast of top-level actors and actresses in atypical roles and settings, far removed from those in which we usually see them. Thus parade, for example, Bryan Cranston as a space commander, Sidse Babett Knudsen (the protagonist of Borgen) as a disturbing and very particular femme fatal, Steve Buscemi as a gray employee of a biotechnology company, Geraldine Chaplin as an old space traveler, Timmothy Spall as a troubled train guard, a notable Essie Davis (far removed from her detective Miss Fisher or her mother in the horror film Babadook) composing a woman abused by her military husband on a space base but far from resignation and Vera Farmiga as a fearsome right-wing leader.
In the midst of an offer with so many series that in general develop (and often stretch) a story and the same characters throughout several chapters, the generosity of one that displays such a variety of stories, characters and settings and the conciseness is appreciated. With what it does.
Here is a brief review or the triggers for each chapter.
