In a blasted post-nuke landscape, it\u2019s Christmas Eve and 110 degrees. Mo has been away for several months. He buys an android head from a scavenger, as a present for his artist girlfriend Jill. (\u201cIt\u2019s horrible,\u201d she says. \u201cI love it. What is it?\u201d) The head fabricates a body out of the scrap metal Jill welds into sculptures, and it drains the apartment\u2019s power source. At this point the film and its killing machine become one \u2014 relentless, self-renewing, savage. Jill\u2019s final stab at a solution combines computer skills and low-tech vengeance.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8856\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Android-Head.jpg\" alt=\"the android head from 'Hardware'\" width=\"850\" height=\"478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Android-Head.jpg 850w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Android-Head-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Android-Head-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Android-Head-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Most of these building blocks are endearingly familiar. The killer \u2019droid is the Terminator reduced to essentials. The ecological nightmare and Oriental refugees come from <b><i>Blade Runner<\/i><\/b>, and the desert scenes from <b><i>Mad Max<\/i><\/b>. The dissonant amalgam of futuristic function and \u201940s industrial design might have been purchased whole off <b><i>Max Headroom<\/i><\/b>. Stanley\u2019s innovations involve his heroine. Jill pursues a threatened lifestyle, surviving on odd jobs and welfare checks. When the grubby Mo tries to understand her art, she cuts him off \u2014 \u201cIt\u2019s not for you; it\u2019s not for anybody.\u201d Earlier she was preparing dolls for inclusion in a sculpture by blowtorching away their faces. (\u201cI just think it\u2019s stupid and suicidal and sadistic to have children right now.\u201d) The monster might almost have arisen from her destructive imagination, which is why she\u2019s able to confront it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8857\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Dylan-McDermott-Stacey-Travis.jpg\" alt=\"Dylan McDermott and Stacey Travis in a scene from 'Hardware'\" width=\"850\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Dylan-McDermott-Stacey-Travis.jpg 850w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Dylan-McDermott-Stacey-Travis-600x240.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Dylan-McDermott-Stacey-Travis-300x120.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Dylan-McDermott-Stacey-Travis-768x307.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Hardware<\/i><\/b> derives its extraordinary impetus from the push\/pull of Stanley\u2019s talents \u2014 the care to compose arresting images, and the itch to edit them heedlessly. Cameraman Steven Chivers clearly has a ball with the over-the-top requests. Red-orange is the dominant hue inside and out, occasionally contested by cobalt blue or pure, hard white. In the last category is a stunning shower scene, with Jill emerging from behind Mo \u2014 an apparition assuming tangible shape. The climax is also staged there, one of several instances where Stanley knits together shots separated in time. An overhead camera setup inscribes a stately arc as Jill lies alone in bed, drifting away on a drug high. Later, battered and bloody on the floor of a neighbor\u2019s apartment, she is viewed from the same angle, but in contrary motion.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8860\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Hardware-Scene.jpg\" alt=\"scene from the movie 'Hardware'\" width=\"850\" height=\"459\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Hardware-Scene.jpg 850w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Hardware-Scene-600x324.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Hardware-Scene-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Hardware-Scene-768x415.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Given the emphasis on camera choreography and rapid cutting, the actors don\u2019t much matter. (Casting Americans in the leads was a contract mandate.) Stacey Travis has ideal attributes for Jill: a take-charge voice, lithe athleticism, innate doggedness. The Mo of Dylan McDermott gets less to do, and is correspondingly less vivid. John Lynch, impressive elsewhere, is wasted on Mo\u2019s indecisive partner, and Iggy Pop (a pirate-radio Jeremiah) and Mot\u00f6rhead front man Lemmy create barely a ripple.
