eXistenZ (1999)
Country: CAN/GB
Technical: col 97m
Director: David Cronenberg
Cast: Jennifer Jason Leigh, Jude Law, Ian Holm, Christopher Eccleston
Synopsis:
Some time in the future, video game designers have become superstars. Players are fitted with 'bioports' in their spine and play attached to organic 'pods' made from amphibians. One such designer introduces a new game in which it is hard to distinguish virtual reality from life and finds herself under threat from competitors...
Review:
In many ways a résumé of the director's most typical work. Entertaining for buffs, with its many references, but mystifying for the uninitiated, who will become alienated by the Chinese-box approach to reality which of course is the point.
