beyond Kafka

Rating: 9/10 (10 October 1999)

Whenever there is a story made in fantastic fashion it attracts me with considerable force. Director of Dark city, as long as I can believe to the facts, has a history in making The Crow, which i can hardly except for credible ... anyway, I didn't like The Crow so much, but ... WOW, Dark city gives me creeps in one of the most hilarious ways. It's strange though, movie itself is nothing unusual, nothing special, it has a touch of low grade production. No makeup, no publicity, no cyber-this, cyber-that ... but it's pure "beyond Kafka". Dark, dark, dark all over? Exactly. But that darkness has heavy, thick quality. Oblivion proof.
