A director’s dead girlfriend is vaguely re-created as a doll that acts her part in a movie.

It’s slow and interesting. Mostly-recommended, although this won’t make it into my collection because it’s particularly graphic.

A high-tech future takes away and then offers a victim a second chance at a normal life, except without his wife.
