Little Joe : Jessica Hausner
Will artificial beings suppress the
living being is the ubiquitous question buzzing around the world now. But
machine intelligence is conditional to human intelligence. Machines are not
made for machines but for the pragmatic usage of man. What if modified
creativity surpasses human creativity?
“Little Joe” [2019], directed by Jessica Hausner,
seemed to me a bit alarming. If such a situation arises, humans will be
suffered more by humans than by human’s creations, because it's human’s free
will and moral sense that direct the machine.
Mutation makes all the characters happy at last
but in exchange for their compromised sacrifice of the natural essence of love,
compassion and trust. I recalled the contemplation of Nihal for Aydin in
Ceylan’s Winter Sleep [2013], saying that Aydin’s intelligence and virtues are
applied more for demeaning others whether they are in favor of or against.
Hausner’s sense of minimal color pallets and symmetrical
compositions resonate with Wes Anderson’s visual styles. I am excited to watch
and enjoy their Club Zero and Asteroid City respectively competing in the 2023 Cannes
Film Festival.

PS: I watched "Little Joe" to have a taste of the representative film from each nominated director of the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.
