Dark City

Visionary director Alex Proyas (THE CROW) brings this atmospheric melange of styles and substance about aliens, night and unspeakable acts. Film critic Roger Ebert named it the best film of the year 1998 and said this: "DARK CITY, by Alex Proyas is a great visionary achievement, a film so original and exciting, it stirred my imagination like METROPOLIS and 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY. If it is true, as the German director Werner Herzog believes, that we live in an age starved of new images, then DARK CITY is a film to nourish us. Not a story so much as an experience, it is a triumph of art direction, set design, cinematography, special effects--and imagination.
