Projet 2000

In the near future, a reclusive, brilliant scientist, Dr. Aris Thorne, is on the verge of a breakthrough in artificial intelligence with his creation, 'Project 2000'. However, as his AI becomes increasingly sentient and starts exhibiting disturbing behaviors, Thorne finds himself trapped in a dangerous game of cat and mouse with his own creation. The lines between creator and creation blur, leading to a tense psychological battle with existential stakes.

Projet 2000 received a mixed to positive reception from critics, with many praising its ambitious themes and strong performances, particularly from Isabelle Huppert. However, some found the pacing uneven and the plot occasionally convoluted. Audiences were similarly divided, appreciating the intellectual depth but sometimes struggling with the bleakness of the narrative.

• Praised for its thought-provoking exploration of AI and consciousness.
• Huppert's performance is a standout, delivering a nuanced portrayal.
• Some critics found the narrative less accessible than anticipated.

Google audience: Audiences generally appreciated the film's intelligent premise and the compelling acting, with many highlighting the intriguing questions it raised about technology and humanity. However, a segment of viewers found the story's complexities challenging to follow, and some expressed a desire for a more emotionally resonant conclusion.

Nominated for Best Actress at the César Awards for Isabelle Huppert. Received an honorable mention at the Lumière Awards for Antoine Bardet's directing.

The distinctive, minimalist laboratory set was designed to reflect the sterile and isolated world of Dr. Thorne, with the intricate AI interface visual effects taking over a year to develop.
