Lapsis


Noah Hutton | USA | 2020 | 108m

In a parallel present, delivery man Ray Tincelli is struggling to support himself and his ailing younger brother. After a series of two-bit hustles and unsuccessful swindles, Ray takes a job in a strange new realm of the gig economy: trekking deep into the forest, pulling cable over miles of terrain to connect large, metal cubes that link together the new quantum trading market. As he gets pulled deeper into the zone, he encounters growing hostility and the threat of robot cablers, and must choose to either help his fellow workers or to get rich and get out.

"A refreshing instance of world building where the emphasis is on satirical wit, activist smarts and character, it feels like one of those movies we'll be looking at decades from now..." -Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times

"It's a sharp, progressively-minded satire with sci-fi elements that would make an interesting double feature with Boots Riley's more outrageous but similarly pissed-off Sorry To Bother You." -Katie Rife, AV Club

"Cult status is assured." -Dennis Harvey, Variety
