A masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (12 November 2015)

Films like this one are very rare these days. There are no words to describe what one feels while watching it. The whole mood and atmosphere of the film can't be shared, it has to be felt. The beautiful sets unveil a world that was real only in people's heads at that time. A neo-noir cyberpunk reality.
The story holds attention from start to end. The perfectly developed characters and the magnificent presence of the actors on screen brings you into the story as if you are part of it. The use of dark colours gives almost a personal feel to the film.
Finally, the music defines new heights. Easily one of the best and most emotional compositions ever created for a film.
Looking at this film from the distance of time it has aged very well and, surely, is a masterpiece that set standards not just in its own genre but in filmmaking as a whole. There aren't many films that are subjects of discussions decades after they had been made.
