Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

With the world doomed by over-population, a scientist decides that it's his duty to reanimate the brilliant brain of his dead son in a vast metallic structure. The plot gives out halfway through, but Lourié's visualisation of the monster's metallic agonies - much of them subjective - is cruel and potent.
