Synopsis

Charlie is a zoo-head, addicted to a powerful hallucinogenic with memory crunching side-effects. He is forced by the authorities to enter a radically experimental rehabilitation treatment designed to recover his memories and put his mind back to how it was before he became addicted. The system crashes and he becomes trapped in horrifying memory loops. Haunted by childhood traumas, Charlie’s psyche repeatedly shuts down in defence, only to reboot with increasingly disturbing recurrences. His girlfriend Megan, herself a recovering addict, reveals the depth of her feeling for him and Charlie realises he actually has something precious to live for. But it may be too late as the twists and turns of the extreme visions intensify, potentially destroying his mind for good. Unless the desperate efforts to save him can succeed.

Synopsis

The Tate Gallery recently staged a retrospective of the surrealist Leonora Carrington (1917- 2011), famously the lover of Max Ernst. Novelist Chloe Aridjis, who knew the artist from her native Mexico, was made guest curator of the exhibition. Set between the real-life curation of the Tate show and something more fantasised, FEMALE HUMAN ANIMAL sees Chloe increasingly disappointed by her milieu - and increasingly haunted by Carrington’s strange artworks. When an elusive, brooding man seems to offer more, Chloe begins to pursue him, but is she hunter, or hunted? Enabled by Carrington’s own defiantly mysterious mythology, she descends into a world of obsession. Shot on a rare '80s video camera with a unique look, and deftly weaving fact and fiction, the film offers a darkly romantic fantasia of a woman who goes beyond societal norms, putting on screen the lurid unconscious of our new sexual politics.
