The Mantle Parker Birthing Center—the “Barbie Birthing Dream House,” as Elliot snarkily calls it—is a lavish, futuristic medical facility, and it also feels a bit like a giant womb itself. One corridor in particular, with its crimson carpet and matching, artfully splattered walls, underlines this theme, as does the use of red lighting in the lab and exam rooms. Even the center’s dramatic atrium staircase invites its share of visceral drama. The garish, blood-red surgical scrubs, another nod to Cronenberg’s film, are perfectly at home here.
