Romantic robot sex comedy starring Tilda Swinton as a scientist who uses her DNA to create 3 cyborgs identical to her in every way, save for the semen they constantly need to consume — a.k.a. they need to FUCK to live. The habitual — and ritual — sex they partake in eventuates in the cyborgs accidentally spreading a virus that infects their partners and their computers, unleashing bio-gender warfare throughout the city.
This film sounds cool right? See I thought so too, until I saw it in motion. Some fun production design aside, there's something so off-kilter and unappealing about Teknolust that really tested me. I like Tilda Swinton, I like James Urbaniak, I like cyberpunk sex, and I like when interiors look like Mirror's Edge. Teknolust features all that and more, and yet I don't like it, and I especially don't like how I can't explain why I don't like it. I don't hate Teknolust, but I sincerely never want to look at or think about it again.
