In Hot Spot, there are cyber witches, blood-transfusion worms, retrofuturist ’80s noir-fits, dried-up landscapes, ancient Greek ruins, and an omnipotent AI known as “The Head” that has effectively made humanity dependent on technology for survival. At the heart of it is a detective mystery, though Smoczynska refuses to go from point A to B in a straight line. Noomi Rapace plays Rana, a mysterious rebel leader who refuses to connect to the system, but this not just the star of Prometheus and Constellation doing the sci-fi heroine thing yet again. The movie is vivid and occasionally grotesque. Smoczynska says she isn’t really interested in whether you can follow it all or not. Just vibe.
