Dark City
If you switched places, identities and memories with someone else in your city, someone unknown to you, every night, how would you know? If we were all rats in a maze, some kind of experiment carried out for the enlightenment or entertainment of unseen forces, how would we know? This film plays with that classic conspiracy-theory idea in a very nice way. It's a beautiful mix of film noir and science-fiction that deserves a place right up there with Blade Runner. The metalepsis which occurs between the inner diegetic world and outer diegetic world is embedded in the narrative, for we follow a protagonist able to 'think outside the box' (similar to Neo in the Matrix).
8/10
