Forget Modern Sci-Fi, 'Klara and the Sun's Jenna Ortega and Taika Waititi Find Soul in Classic Cinema
Readthrough summary
Collider talks with the team behind "Klara and the Sun," Taika Waititi's film of Kazuo Ishiguro's 2021 novel.
In a future divided by genetic enhancement, Klara (Jenna Ortega) is an Artificial Friend bought for Josie (Mia Tharia), a "lifted" child reacting badly to the procedure. Amy Adams plays Josie's social-climbing mother, Chrissie.
Klara learns about people by watching and imitating them, which brings physical comedy, while the story also takes on grief, love and the idea that technology might replicate humanity.
