The Mechanical Bride

The desire to bring the perfect artificial woman to life is as old as Pygmalion, but new technologies are making its realization ever more likely. Limning the border between fantasy and reality, this provocative and eye-opening documentary journeys from the outer limits of science fiction -- visiting classic scenes of fembots in film and television -- to the state of the art in artificial companions -- from life-sized silicone love dolls to humanoid robots.
