Alex is a scientist who has designed the supercomputer Proteus and computerized his own home. When Alex refuses to give Proteus a free terminal for its research, Proteus takes over the domestic one and begins to spy on Susan, the scientist’s wife. A distressing near future, locked inside an obliging and independent house which becomes a prison, a dystopia by the co-director (with Roeg) of Performance. It’s no surprise that Proteus is attracted to Susan: she’s the splendid Julie Christie. [mp]
