It was Alphaville in the '60s. It’s a movie I can’t erase, but why is it that I want to watch it once a year? The movie is full of despair, sadness, grief and violence. Megaville should have been the answer from the 90s, but it didn't.
So, in the near future, the United States is divided into two halves. In one, total control over everything is prohibited all entertainment, including movies and televisions, and everything is ruled by a bedridden old man, but stability, tranquility and completely defeated crime, because people are programmed so that they can not commit violence. The other half is exactly the opposite. The world of entertainment, skyscrapers, TV shows, bright advertising. Well, as a byproduct - complete promiscuity and human life is worth nothing here.
The young German director Peter Lehner shot all this and we understand that we see an allusion to the GDR-FRG. So, in this very cinematic GDR, a special service shot and killed a smuggler from Germany, very similar to the policeman Billy Zane. Well, since the chain of smuggling must be investigated, Zayn is sent under the guise of a smuggler to Germany, implanted in his brain a video sensor sending signals to the GDR. And Zane himself begins to glitches, where he sees himself killing civilians and suspects that he also implanted the memories of the murdered.
The film is interesting, but its main disadvantage is that no one has translated it into Russian. And the conversations here are a good 80% of the film and the conversations are difficult for those who speak bourgeois to a weak three like me. It was not translated, because the movie was never released and sold only on VHS and then only in Germany. Which is strange, because the story is good, the film is not ordinary, sometimes there are very spectacular shots. It's not Alphaville, but the movie deserves attention. And young Zane is pretty good. The film is on Yu-tuba in free access, if knowledge of English allows and like rare films, look.
