Aeon Flux

November 1st, 2007 · No Comments

Animation by Chung (1996)
I have a VHS tape collection of the show’s segments that aired on MTV’s “Liquid Television” years ago. Female bionic anti-hero struggles against the forces of order and oppression, and with the great questions of postmodern ontology. From Wikipedia website: “Æon Flux is set in a bizarre, dystopian, future world of mutant creatures, clones, and robots. The title character is a tall, scantily-clad secret agent from the society of Monica, skilled in assassination and acrobatics. Her mission is to infiltrate the strongholds of the neighboring country of Bregna, which is led by her sometimes-enemy and sometimes-ally Trevor Goodchild. Monica represents a dynamic anarchist society, while Bregna embodies a centralized, scientifically planned state. The names of their respective characters reflect this: Flux as the self-directed agent from Monica and Goodchild as the technocratic leader of Bregna.
