One of David Cronenberg’s most prophetic and thrilling achievements! Jennifer Jason Leigh, Jude Law, Willem Defoe, Sarah Polley, Ian Holm and Christopher Eccleston all collide in this epic take on the gaming era – one as important to Y2K as Videodrome is to the ‘80s. The film’s many layers of sci-fi excellence feel ripped from the pages of Phillip K. Dick and William Burroughs.
In the terrifying near-future, game designer Allegra Geller (Leigh) and her mousy publicist (Law) disappear down the VR rabbit hole to fend off deadly assassins and repair her controversial game “eXistenZ” from the inside. Cronenberg brilliantly gives this world the feel of video game cutscenes with a psychosexual edge: electronic umbilical cords, Total Recall-style reality shattering and other kinks.
New 4K restoration by Vinegar Syndrome.
