Human Nature
Dir: Michel Gondry
France/USA, 2001, English/French, 96mins, DCP
Cast: Tim Robbins, Patricia Arquette, Rhys Ifans
Living an animal existence in a forest away from civilisation, an ape-like man is discovered by a couple – a male psychologist who wants to condition him to act as humans do, and a female writer suffering from abnormal bodily hair growth. The involvement of the psychologist’s seductive assistant complicates matters for everyone involved. For his feature debut, Michel Gondry gives a quaintly retro vibe to Charlie Kaufman’s script that characteristically addresses the mind-body problem in a quirky, distinctive way, neurotically anticipating that man’s baser instincts will get the better of him.
