Here's a love story you haven't seen before: A man falls for a woman he can only watch through the camera of an armed robot spider, from a control room half a world away. That is the haunting, unconventional setup of "Eye on Juliet," a quiet 2017 drama almost nobody caught, and right now you can stream it for free.
Written and directed by Canadian filmmaker Kim Nguyen — whose earlier feature "War Witch" earned an Oscar nomination — the film premiered at the Venice Film Festival, where it took home the Fedora Award for Best Film. Joe Cole, best known for his gritty, tough-guy turns in "Peaky Blinders" and "Gangs of London," plays completely against type here as a lonely, soft-spoken drone operator.
