DARK CITY C-103min****(1998)D:Alex Proyas. Rufus Sewell, Keifer Sutherland, Jennifer Connelly, William Hurt, Richard O'Brien, Ian Richardson. A labyrinth of a movie, sci-fi at it's best about a city where it's always dark, aliens conduct very secret experiments to learn what makes us human, meanwhile an amnesic (Sewell) is now
mysteriously given telekenetic powers. Intellectually complex sci-fi puzzle features a fascinating graphic novel/Dark Knight-Batman/film noir tone and excellent special effects. A triumph of production design and visionary filmaking and a very unique masterpiece of vision and imagination. Obviously influenced by "The Matrix"(1999).
