The Future of Science Fiction 5*
I have seen the future of science fiction, and it is ample, at least if this film has the influence it so richly deserves. Written science fiction is about so considerable more than the place opera and bug eyed monster tales and post-apocalyptic gotterdammerung that develop the bulk of filmic “sci fi” that it is grand to survey the film world catching up. There have always been a few “genuine” science fiction movies that wreck the mold — “A Boy and His Dog”, “2001″, “Blade Runner”, even “Charly” (though that butchered the current improbable Daniel Keys novella, the intent was there) approach to mind. But most of those refer aid to classic science fiction written works. What is broad about “Sleep Dealer” is that it takes the vision of fine written SF, with an novel region and theme, mixes it with the vocabulary of the special effects driven films that dominate the science fiction theater, and comes out with something extraordinary. I hope this is an indication that the recent generation of writers and directors (and not unprejudiced Hollywood budget types, but independent and “foreign” cinematographers) have absorbed this vocabulary to the point where it is simply another tool in their repertoir, and will continue to exercise it judiciously to insist a unique generation of adult science fiction tales.

Sleep Dealer combines a cyberpunk vision of the approach future with a determined social vision and a dynamite region and characterizations. Memo (Fernando Pena, with a tilde) is a young man in a remote and dusty Oaxacan village, Santa Ana del Rio. His father struggles on to raise crops on the ancestral area since a gringo corporation dammed the local river … going to beg a few liters of water, he and Memo are faced with a remote control, talking gun at the fence. Memo dreams of leaving the dusty town, and has a Rube Goldberg radio setup (with a manual “Hacking for Beginners” 
that he uses to listen to communications from the outside world, in best cyberpunk fashion. One day he overhears com between a drone pilot and his irascible, but they detect him. He cuts the connection, but shortly thereafter, while he and his brother are away at a party, they behold a TV broadcast of an American drone pilot’s first mission, going after “aqua terrorists”
Memo flees to Tijuana to fabricate money for his family as a plugged in worker — the US border is totally shut down, so Mexicans toil by remote control from south of the border, using robots to the north. On the bus North, Memo meets Luz (Leonor Varela), a exquisite young woman who is trying to obtain a living as a ‘writer’, jacking in and transcribing her memories directly into cyberspace for others to prefer. She ‘writes’ a vignette of having met Memo, and what microscopic of his record he told her. When he is mugged, she offers to net him the implanted nodes which will let him work .. and turns out to be able to do the “coyoteka’s” work herself. Luz’s writeup of Memo has an keen customer, who wants more material and she sees Memo again and again. Luz finds herself falling for him as he does for her. Eventually, they are brought together with the phantom customer, and the film winds to a surprising but seemingly inevitable conclusion.

Sleep Dealer is replete with nice exiguous touches, such as the drone pilot being of Latino descent, from a military family; or the company Memo works for, Cybracero (cyber + bracero) . The special effects may not be site of the art, but are perfectly adequate to the purpose at hand, that of telling Memo’s sage and presenting the world he lives in. And that world is very carefully imagined, firmly grounded in the realities of today.
In the press kit, which is available on line, director Alex Rivera describes Sleep Dealer as “a humble film … an objective attempt to exercise science-fiction film to say something recent, and something lawful, about our world today.” He has succeeded in spades. A very eager 5 *’s.

Quote 2: “… and blow the hell out of the dreadful guys.” (drone explain host)
2008 Sundance Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award and Alfred P. Sloan Prize.
This limited sleeper of a movie winds together more different strands than any I’ve seen in ages. It variously explores American isolationism combined with a put a question to for immigrant labor, the rise of a commercial military, unusual kinds of sweat shops, armed escalation of the water wars, and the irony of social networking (in the electronic sense) . As people interact more by wire, eventually, the wires become primary for interacting even in person.
The major site elements seem familiar - passe society failing under pressure from the unique work, and the boy trying to befriend his family by working in the gargantuan city. A relatively modern stereotype appears, too: the soldier who we arrive to respect, even when he fights in a war that we don’t.
This succeeds at many levels. It can be seen as an anti-American, anti-corporate diatribe, or as a grim extrapolation of today’s headlines. Either procedure, it carries reminders that people will tranquil near out to each other, and that personal honor will continue to have meaning.
