Top 3 in the worst movies I've ever seen. Do you like seeing a woman feed her cat and ride a train? Then this movie is for you. No joke, watching the protagonist silently living her dull daily routine was MOST of the movie. Literally the only good thing about it was the very last 2 seconds when a lil girl smiled like a psycho because that was interesting to see.

This is great for the cyberpunk crowd. I heard so many say it make the top ten of great cyberpunk movies and I agree.

The best film I've ever seen, set against the backdrop of virtual reality and the way it engulfs and interpenetrates reality. The choice of light color for both universes, colors that tell us where we are, then where we are not, that exalt the silhouettes of bodies, enveloping them in an unreal halo, and finally that show us where we are no longer. But no matter how much they tell us, the viewer, we get lost in the end, too sure of the spaces they delimit. It's a much finer and deeper film than it seems to most people; just look at those scenes where we eat, where we feed our dogs... Food has a fundamental place, it binds us together, it's real. We don't eat in the virtual world, do we? This film has been labeled cyberpunk, but how strange. The director plays with images, mixing the real with the virtual, the real with the unreal, fiction with the virtual, the virtual with the unreal and with food... the reality he transforms into the virtual until we lose ourselves, then find ourselves again in a split second of understanding here, on the edge, between here and there, but where? Only one character disappointed me, and it's not so much the character as the actor chosen to play him, the director's only mistake. And then this woman, with her dog, as she feeds him. I saw it in 2001, and I still remember it. Quite simply because inhabiting several worlds at once is unforgettable, between reality and fiction, the virtual and us in the theater, with the outside world when we leave the darkened theater, for the light, or the night, of the outside world... Yes, real borders are only useful for wars. The others, whether we like it or not, belong to us.
