Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Congress is a 2013 French-Israeli Science Fiction film loosely based on the Stanisław Lem novel The Futurological Congress. It is directed by Ari Folman and stars Robin Wright, who also co-produced. The film also stars Harvey Keitel, Danny Huston, Paul Giamatti, Jon Hamm, and Kodi Smit-McPhee in supporting roles.Robin Wright plays herself as an actress whose fickleness and unpredictability ruined a very promising career and who is slowly aging out of her beauty. She is offered one last chance by Miramount Studios: they will buy the digital image rights from her in exchange for a large sum of money and a promise never to act again. Miramount will scan her body and expressions and be able to create a perfect digital version of Robin they can use on screen. With an ailing son to take care of and her career prospects vanishing, Robin agrees. Twenty years later the 'real' Robin attends the Futurological Congress as a guest, a Miramount presentation over their new drug that allows people to transform themselves into animated avatars, including Robin herself who has signed away the rights so that people can become her. The Congress takes place in an illusionary, animated universe that initially charms but quickly repels Robin. The film is half live action and half animated, representing the 'real' and 'chemical party' universes.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

| The Congress / int_120d0e3f | comment |
Adam Westing: A very unusual case as it is played for pathos rather than comedy. The film version of Robin Wright is someone whose career declined much more steeply than her real life counterpart and whose poor choices and unreliability as an actress are invoked for devastating effect. The fictional Robin also has a son named Aaron who has a degenerative condition destined to leave him blind and deaf. | |

All There in the Manual: Subverted. Despite being based on The Futurological Congress by Lem, knowing the novel doesn't make the movie any less of a Mind Screw nor explains all that much beyond knowing the basic twist of most of the events being just a drug-induced hallucination with little to no translation to real events beforehand. | |
