Matt Smith in a new - and creepy - movie role. Womb raises a lot of questions.

It's always hard for fans of Doctor Who to imagine their lead guys in any other roles. So of course there's likely to be a lot of interest around this new indie movie starring Matt Smith - Womb. Probably the most intriguing aspect of this movie though is that it is an indie film, with likely limited release. You would have thought movie makers would be tripping over each other to secure Smith.

Eva Green plays the core role of Rebecca, and has also starred in The Golden Compass and Quantum of Solace.

The official spiel: A woman's consuming love forces her to bear the clone of her dead beloved. From his infancy to manhood, she faces the unavoidable complexities of her controversial decision.



There is a very good analysis in the public comments on IMDb.com:

This is an emotionally and morally complex film.
The setting is bare, the dialog minimal, and all to leave room for the context, which is massive.
The isolation serves to preserve the womb till the moment of all release, and therefore the moment of ultimate loss. there are many quiet metaphors in this film.
And it is these quiet choices that show some brilliant forethought on the part of the film-makers. It is brilliant film-making. If you can get past the squirminess of it all.
