TOULOUSE
Synopsis:
Through the Looking Glass. What is reality? What if, in fact, we were living in a virtual simulation created by machines to subjugate the population? What if the whole of humanity were nothing more than an energy source for artificial intelligence? A defining work of the late 20th century, a spine-chilling cyber-thriller that has gone down in history thanks to a barrage of special effects dominated by bullet time. The Matrix, or when spectacular action attempts to freeze time, just long enough for a gunfight, whilst offering a pessimistic, disturbing and alarmist portrait of our near future.
Lana Wachowski, Lilly Wachowski, 1999. USA / Australia. 136 mins. Colour. DCP. Original version with French subtitles.
