An awkward meeting between two replicants – the police officer K and the prostitute Mariette – in the suggestive futuristic setting of a downtown red light district in Los Angeles.
Officer K's name is obviously a reference to the main character in Kafka's novel the Trial and just like Kafka's protagonist, officer K's social skills aren't really A+ grade.
Just like the projections of dancing girls in this clip, police officer K's girlfriend is a hologram (Joi), with the difference to these projection being that Joi can interact with people.
"You don't like real girls?" is a funny, ironic questions from Mariette,since she isn't a real girl either, but she probably doesn't know that she is a replicant. One of the prostitutes speak Finnish, maybe to add to the multicultural feeling of this film.
I am completely in love with the aesthetics of this film as well of the aesthetics of original Blade Runner. This sequel isn't really breaking new grounds in cinema, but sequels seldom do. It is a slow moving, atmospheric, mind-provoking and decadent movie, not in everyone's taste, but I like it.
