Synopsis:
In a state-controlled society of the future, subject THX works in a robocop facility but senses there must be more to existence, and his roommate might just have ideas of how to attain it.
Review:
Lucas and Walter Murch put together this screenplay about a strictly circumscribed human existence stripped to its essentials: no love, no sexual intercourse, no hair even. The story and elements of production are equally pared down, but nonetheless the film has a cumulative power as its hero's response resolves itself into an emphatic 'no'.
