The talented Irishman plays a forlorn father investigating his family’s malfunctioning robot helper in Kogonada’s latest—a fascinating foil to Farrell’s “The Batman”
—have plumbed a deep well of anguish and fear, loneliness and longing. It’s those qualities that writer/director Kogonada taps into with, a melancholic science-fiction tale about a family forced to come to terms with the irreparable malfunction of its robotic “technosapian” member, Yang .
Farrell is Jake, a tea-shop owner in an unspecified future who lives with his wife Kyra , their adopted daughter Mika , and Mika’s inhuman sibling Yang, a “cultural techno” whom Jake and Kyra purchased—“certified refurbished”—in order to provide their daughter with a companion who could teach her about, and thereby strengthen her ties to, her Chinese heritage. Yang is treated like an integral part of this clan, especially by Mika, who adores him.
