"The film draws its inspiration and script (a haunting, sometimes
chilly, off-screen monologue performed by Tilda Swinton) from Olaf
Stapledon=E2=80=99s 1930 novel of the same name. His day job at the time of
writing =E2=80=93 lecturing on politics and ethics at the University of
Liverpool, UK =E2=80=93 seems of little moment now, but his sci-fi novels h=
ave
barely been out of print and still set a dauntingly high bar."
