Synopsis

A homage to Alan Turing, the British cryptographer who pioneered the concept of machine intelligence. Queer icons old and new collide in this extrava-gantly beautiful tribute to Alan Turing, the gay British cryptographer who pioneered the concept of machine intelligence. The latest technology, combined with a uniquely personal style, allows Director John Maybury (Love Is The Devil) to update the unconventional conventions of 1970s experimental cinema, while giving them his own distinctly ‘90s spin (including a great electronica/trance score that hypnotizes you, even as it forces you to shake your butt). Kaleidoscopic visuals ravage the senses, and send the mind reeling with revelations about the power of image, the meaning of gay identity and the nature of desire. Traditionalists beware! There's no easy narrative to follow. But for those who seek adventure in uncharted waters, this is one heck of a fabulous gay trip. So leave your preconceptions about what a film should be outside the theater, sit back and enjoy the ride.
