06/24/2020 a satiric and surreal look at the world of tomorrow. the matrix before the matrix. beautiful cinematography by michael ballhaus (goodfellas, gangs of new york). See more Sandor R 04/26/2020 the philosophical question of the movie is quite interesting and fascinating, but the movie fails in every other aspect when it comes to quality: casting, quality of acting, production etc. It's length of 3h34min is also oversized,1h45min would have been enough.
