Click to play videoNew Delhi: A film by the director of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Children of Men premiered recently at the Venice Film Festival and had everyone, from critics to celebrities, talking about it.
Children of Men based on author P D James's novel of the same name and directed by Alfonso Cuarón is set in year 2027 when the mankind has lost its ability to procreate and the last child was born 18 years ago.
"I wasn't interested in doing a science fiction movie and I don’t think it is about what could happen 20 years from now," Cuarón said.
"Everything you see in the film is pretty much what happens today and we worked hard to make sure that the film has a reference to icons that you've seen in the media, of things that's going on," Cuarón added.
Children of Men, set in a futuristic London in the midst of a racial conflict, stars Clive Owen, Julianne Moore and Michael Caine.
As warring nationalistic sects clash, a disillusioned bureaucrat played by Owen is charged with the task of escorting the woman who has become miraculously pregnant to a sanctuary in the hope of saving the mankind.
The film is due for release in Britain later this month and in December in the United States.
