CGiii Comment

The user LonerWolf58 is a regular in incel forums, populated by lonely men who blame women for their misfortunes. While he is alive, he is just one among many spreading fake news and misogyny online; but after his death, his content goes viral, prompting a sentient artificial intelligence to set out to eliminate LonerWolf58 once and for all. But who is this entity that addresses the audience directly and declares war on the incel user? From the way it speaks, it seems like the personification of the Internet itself - a network capable of reflecting on its own nature and on the power dynamics at play within digital spaces. It challenges the usual hierarchy that places the web in a subordinate position to the user.
It is on these premises that director Loïc Hobi envisions a world populated by torn, fragmented, decaying images, in keeping with the desire to eradicate the darkest sides of the Internet.
