Strange Kafkaesque sci-fi

Rating: 7/10 (11 August 2000)

For no film has the much overused word Kafkaesque been more apt. Here is the world as Kafka saw it: a bewildering and frightening series of seemingly random events, bureaucracy and lack of progression for the individual within it. Characters act unexpectedly throughout - at first an apparent flaw with the script, but best seen as another aspect of Cube's deliberately slippery reality.
An existentialist melodrama posing as science fiction - and a fascinating one at that.
