BLU-RAY DEBUT This late-’80s oddity, written and directed by activist and film theorist Peter Wollen, finds a young Tilda Swinton in the role of android envoy Friendship, dispatched to Earth from a distant planet. Although her target destination is MIT, she instead lands in battle-scarred Palestine during 1970’s Black September and sparks up a curious friendship with war correspondent Sullivan (Bill Patterson).
