Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by Dr. Whom - January 11, 2026, 10:22:49 AMDark City (1998)
What if The Matrix was a neo-noir 1940/50s pastiche?
I knew of its reputation and it doesn't disappoint. You might call it an atmospheric noir interpretation of Plato's allegory of the cave. It deals with much the same themes as the Matrix, which is of course much more spectacular. Dark City's strengths are the cinematography and visual design. Also, it is made before movies had to spell everything out for the viewer, so you get a bit of narration at the beginning (apparently at the insistence of the studio) and then things get going. If this was made today, you'd get at least 15 minutes of backstory.
It is literally very dark. This is wholly intentional as the city is plunged in eternal night, but it makes for a gloomy experience. It is more of an interesting thought experiment than an engaging story. Still very much worth seeing.
