Hal Hartley wrote and directed this
satirical exercise in what he calls "fake
science fiction." In the near future, following a violent overthrow of the American government, the United States has come under the rule of the MMM, a Multi-Media Monopoly which runs the country as a business. Every citizen now has a personal bar code, which is used to monitor his or her consumption of practically everything, including sex, now that aphrodisiacs have become the nation's biggest consumer product.
Jack (
Bill Sage) and
Cecile (
Sabrina Lloyd) are two MMM executives who are vying for the same level of advancement within the organization, while
William (
Leo Fitzpatrick) is a member of the Partisans, a cadre of anti-MMM activists who are attempting to bring down the corporation's rule, though they are regarded as both dangerous and powerless by MMM's leaders. In the midst of this situation comes a beautiful woman from the planet Monday (
Tatiana Abracos), who knows about
Jack's little secret -- he's a fellow alien hiding out on Earth. The woman has come to Earth to bring
Jack back to planet Monday, but given the currently miserable state of
Jack's life, he's more interested in having a relationship with her than heading back home.
The Girl From Monday has its world premiere at the
2005 Sundance Film Festival.
