The Clone Returns

A lot of movies come with warning labels, but it’s hard to resist a DVD that has “Warning: Contains Significant Amounts of Philosophy” printed on the back. And it’s not a scam, either, because writer/director Kanji Nakajima gives you a lot to think about in this strange sci-fi story about an astronaut who agrees to have a clone of himself made just in case he doesn’t come back from a dangerous space mission. The ethical issues get complicated when the space man dies and his clone turns out to be a damaged copy of himself. The scientist decide to scrap the first clone and make a second, but the original one has escaped into the world in a desperate attempt to get home
