It is unclear if the young<br />

man (Garrett Wareing) has<br />

committed the horrible crime,<br />

but his mother (Abbie Cornish)<br />

sends him to a luxurious retreat<br />

full of beautiful hedonistic<br />

people for therapy. He will<br />

receive an experimental<br />

treatment to cure his ills and<br />

discover his true self. His<br />

mother has been there, but<br />

does she want to help him<br />

become ‘perfect’?<br />

Frenetic editing, soul shocking<br />

set-pieces and some eye-popping<br />

animation by Kidmograph:<br />

PERFECT alternates between<br />

calm and chaos, and picks at<br />

themes of AI, genetic engineering<br />

and esotericism.<br />

With its super-heightened visuals<br />

worthy of Gasper Noé, production<br />

design that DAZED would find<br />

hard to beat and a stunning<br />

soundtrack by Flying Lotus,<br />

this is ALTERED STATES for the<br />

iGeneration.<br />

Introduced by Güneş Taylor,<br />

a Postdoctoral Training Fellow<br />

at the Francis Crick Institute.<br />

Güneş will discuss topics such<br />

as genome editing and human<br />

enhancement. In association<br />

with The Biochemical Society<br />

UK<br />
