eXistenZ

This is one off my favorite films from David Cronenberg and any fan of Phillip K. Dick's work will love it. Life as a jacked in video game, eXistenZ is yet another of David's explorations of the integration of technology and flesh. Jennifer Jason Leigh and Jude Law are perfect for the roles, playing it straight and flat and with about as much emotion as you'd expect from a video world character. Ian Holm and Willem Dafoe offer wonderful support but the real treat here is the script and visuals. Because you are working in an imaginary world anything is possible and Cronenberg uses this to once again blow our minds. Let me put it this way, eXistenZ is not for a hung over Sunday morn......you're gonna need your brains for this baby!
