The Clone Returns Home
2008 · Movie · 110 min. · Japan
The movie takes place in a vaguely futuristic world and tells the story of an astronaut named Kohei who participates in a new cloning program. When he is accidentally killed on a space mission, the government clones his body and memory, but things don’t go exactly as planned. The cloning process rips open a psychic scar in the new/old Kohei’s past, needing another cloning effort. Set somewhere between the near future and a dream, as if a figurative mist drifts through it, Kanji Nakajima’s last feature is distinguished by the metaphysical space it conjures.
