brilliant post-modern retelling of Genesis

Rating: 9/10 (26 May 2015)

A brilliant post-modern retelling of Genesis 2.0 with an unsettling twist. Ava is Eve. The invited guest is Adam and the unpredictable, dangerous boss of Bluebook is God. The new world is created in 7 sessions between Adam and Eve. But who is tricking who? Who is evil and who is good? The Bluebook boss is clearly deranged - as is visualized by his hair inversion (too full beard and bald head, as opposed to the shaved face and full head hair of his guest). But perhaps the Bluebook boss is right after all. Nasty, perhaps, but right nonetheless. Ava and her cohort are clearly abused by their Bluebook maker, but perhaps they are less innocent than they look. The boss treats his female employee like a robot, which contrasts with how the invited office worker humanely treats Ava - who must pass the Turing test herself. How well will Ava pass the Turing test? Or should she perhaps be called Lilith?
