5.5. Futuristic thriller noir set in 2054 Paris. Visually striking for being done entirely in chiroscuro animation using an innovative rendering to produce a result reminiscent of recent features such as Sin City. Unfortunately the plot and dialogue don’t live up to the visuals which are without doubt stunning.
[Aside: the producer claims that if the film were to have been shot ‘for real’ it have cost around 220millioninsteadofthe18 million. Does this point the way for future developments in the age of cheaper and cheaper IT infrastructure?]
