Falling in love is always fraught with danger. Perhaps more so for Anabel (Anna Maguire) because she refuses to do it through the app that everyone else is using. She wants to go out and find somebody. When she meets George (Hamza Haq) she is immediately smitten, but he, having no heart, is unable to reciprocate her feelings – so she rips out her heart, puts it in a box and sends it to him. As he discovers a new world of emotion, she embarks on a life of feeling nothing.
Since it screened at South By Southwest earlier this year, Kim Albright’s quirky but heartfelt film With Love And A Major Organ has been generating great word of mouth. Iit’s funny, intelligent and full of striking imagery. When I met Kim and Anna in the run-up to...

Set in an alternative world that at times seems like our own, With Love and a Major Organ can also feel as if someone asked ChatGPT to write a quirky postmodern romantic drama about technology in the style of Michel Gondry. The result, written by Julia Lederer (from her play) and directed by Kim Albright, is a film loaded with metaphors and similes where fragile hearts are made of paper and nothing is left to chance. Brains are scanned and uploaded to the cloud for a revolutionary new app LifeZap, emotions are explored in an experience that mimics escape rooms and nothing is left to chance. In short: a dreary hellhole in which human emotions are “disrupted” in favor of suppression.
