Teknolust (2002)
beautiful but flawed

Warning: Spoilers
Rosetta Stone, a post doctoral academic doing a double major in computer science and biology has three clones of her mousy self. the clones all have different and fabulous hair, an affinity for shiny clothes, and a color theme for each. the clones are essentially addicts or vampires, and can only live on human male ejaculate (intravenously please). for some inadequately explained reason all the donors (hand selected by the lead clone, ruby) get sick, leading to the clones' near discovery, and just as inexplicably, the donors get well, just as ruby falls in love with a human male ejaculate producer. the academic and the clones are all played by tilda swinton.

it has an interesting premise and a few developments that drive the narrative forward. but these twists aren't enough to sustain interest. Tilda Swinton is the most talented in the production, but she's hobbled by wretched dialog.

looks gorgeous though. great wardrobe, set design, makeup. shame about the words coming out of the actors' mouths.
