Basado en el film homónimo del malogrado director holandés Theo Van Gogh. Pierre Peders (Steve Buscemi), un prestigioso corresponsal de guerra que atraviesa un momento crítico, se ha endurecido presenciando las inimaginables atrocidades cometidas por las tropas. Un día su editor lo obliga a entrevistar a Katya (Sienna Miller), la actriz de telenovelas más famosa del mundo. Aunque ofendido y humillado, Pierre se pone en contacto con Katya, convencido de que la entrevista será absurda e irrelevante; sin embargo, su encuentro con la mujer le deparará más de una sorpresa; descubre que bajo el glamour y el lujo que la rodean, hay una mujer inteligente, de ingenio afilado, con sus cicatrices y recovecos. Ambos comienzan a tejer entonces una entrevista llena de afiladas críticas, tensión sexual y lúcidas reflexiones sobre todo y sobre todos.
Narrator Rudy Behlmer guides a look through Universal's place in film history as a source of alien visitation, extraterrestrial life, and other Science Fiction staples. The piece further looks at the political and social implications, parallels, and escapism in the movie. The piece spends much of its screen time on how 'It Came From Outer Space' echoed and influenced the genre, its legacy, performances, adherence to Ray Bradbury's source material, 3D photography and presentation, score and effects, and more. This is a quality piece that informs and entertains alike, one that fascinatingly examines the film, and others like it, as both entertainment and echoes of real life.
