Quiet Earth got a sneak peek of Radio Free Albemuth before it was finished. Here’s what they had to say:

” The good news is that this is the closest to Philip K Dick cinema has got yet…”

“The paranoia and fear ever-present in Dick’s writing is well translated, as is his often overlooked humour, a story much more wonderful and complicated than I can hope to hint at here.”

“ I came away from the film with that unique Dickian sense of unease, insignificance and wonder, and it’s good to see his work reproduced so faithfully on the big screen.“

Shea Whigham as Phil, Hanna Hall as Vivian Kaplan in RADIO FREE ALBEMUTH

“Hanna Hall is excellent as FAP agent Vivian Kaplan, manipulative, intense and frightening as she languidly and confidently pursues her subjects.”

From Sci-Fi London Festival:

We are delighted to bring this sneak preview of another PKD adaptation to London.

Based on a 1976 semiautobiographical novel, published posthumously in 1985, it recounts Dick’s visions of Jesus and ancient Rome and a cosmic force called VALIS.

In this film the visions are experienced by Nick Brady, a successful record producer, whose life becomes guided by VALIS, as it instructs him to lead a subversive campaign against the US president, a neo-fascist who invents a terrorist organisation to introduce a police state (sound familiar?).

Phil, Nick’s friend and a science-fiction writer, recounts the story as Nick tries to find out about the secret Aramchek organisation while coping with his visions and being investigated by the government.

This indie pic, which features singer Alanis Morrisette, eschews the big-budget tricks of previous PKD adaptations to give it more realism, as well as tackling the big ideas of spirituality and political conspiracies; ones that are still as relevant today as they were 35 years ago.
