Synopsis<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Struggling with protracted writer’s block, young-adult novelist Clarissa Katsef is hoping her stint at a prestigious artist’s residency will unblock her literary muse and help her transition into the world of non-fiction. But she gradually becomes uneasy, and more and more paranoid, with the increasingly intrusive presence of her AI “virtual assistant”, Dalloway, who quickly begins to overstep personal boundaries. Yann Gozlan<\/strong>‘s psychological thriller explores the ethical and practical ramifications of the future of artificial intelligence and the intrinsically human domain of creativity. But it’s C\u00e9cile de France’s fearless (practically one-woman) performance that will keep you pinned to your seat.<\/p>\n
