In a meticulously orchestrated future, pregnancy is forbidden, and citizens are encouraged to have loveless sex and take mind-altering narcotics. While most people are happy to retain this established order, including Thomas Grambell (Keir Dullea), a supervisor of human "hatcheries," resistance is growing, as evinced by quirky malcontent Bernard Marx (Bud Cort) and other rebels. When a native named John Savage (Kristoffer Tabori) arrives, his presence further upends conventional thinking.

Ioannis Alex M Out of all the adaptations, this is the closest that any movie gets to the heart of what Aldous Huxley was trying to communicate. It doesn't have the razzle and dazzle, but you can feel the heart that was put into the movie by everyone in it. The bare bones message remains clear throughout the movie. "...But if in your heart you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure, Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor, Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears... " - Khalil Gibran Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/24 Full Review Read all reviews
