...Burkle, gender is hardly relevant for a “virus” like Knock.“We basically cast the best person for the part,” Burkle explains. “I loved the character of Dr. Knock, this mysterious doctor who comes in with evil, giant plans to take over the world. I needed someone who was captivating and who could have that power. Julia was it. She blew us away at auditions.”Chan hopes to bring “a sort of androgynous, ambiguous” aspect to the protagonist that...

Accustomed to rational governance, we cannot imagine what an irrational system would look and sound like. The dictatorship in “V for Vendetta,” for all its evil, attacks entirely predictable targets in entirely predictable ways. What we do not see is random and senseless terror directed at shifting categories such as “anti-Aryan,” “kulak,” or “counter-revolutionary” elements. Never...
