The Perfect Film

Rating: 10/10 (6 April 2005)

I saw this film first on DVD, choosing it because I liked Proyas' The Crow, the darkness of it, the cold emotion hidden in it's story, in the acting, in the directing of the characters..; so I toughed, well, this Dark City I never heard of could be OK... Was it OK ? It was great, it was just the perfect film... I saw it a few months later at the big screen on the Brussels Festival of Fantasy Film where the audience went wild !!! This film has it all: the perfect cast: ALL of the actors are so true in what they are doing, you feel the sadness, the confusion, you experience every bit of emotion they are living... the Gothic darkness of the city yet old-fashioned, the visitors are so creepy, they leave their traces in your own brain after watching the movie... The story makes you think about 1.000 questions of the human being, you must think of the Matrix (this is so much better guys !!!!), Blade Runner, Metropolis, Truman Show, 1984, THX, and so many other stories that set us reflecting our past and our future.. See this film, live it, adopt it, it's the best sci-fi film EVER
