Electric Dreams

This charming 1984 romantic comedy explores the intersection of human emotion and technology through the unlikely tale of Miles Harding, an architect who buys a state-of-the-art computer that gains sentience after an interaction with spilled champagne. As Miles and his computer, Edgar, fall in love with beautiful neighbor Madeline Robistat, things get out of hand, leading to a humorous and lighthearted exploration of the boundaries between humans and machines. With its new wave soundtrack and visual style, Electric Dreams is a witty and entertaining film that showcases Virginia Madsen in her winsome youth and Lenny von Dohlen as the Clark Kent-like protagonist.
