eXistenZ
Réalisé par David Cronenberg
- Daniel Gustavsson12 octobre 2024I will admit that I was torn here if I wanted to give this a 4 or a 5. The movie is absolutely not perfect, and some of the editing is very confusing. The acting can be... weird for lack of a better word. But I went with a 5 in the end because for some reason this movie really stuck with me. The themes are so great. The risks it takes. Some of the weird stuff (the gun for example). The ending. They are all so brilliant. It's a bit cheesy at times but that just makes the whole thing more geeky (and hence fitting for this). I also think the movie brings a lot of food for thoughts, especially after that ending. I love this movie.
- flavo433 janvier 2026eXistenZ is a mind‑bending slice of sci‑fi that showcases David Cronenberg’s fascination with the blurred boundaries between technology and flesh. Starring Jennifer Jason Leigh and Jude Law, the film dives into the world of virtual‑reality gaming—but instead of glossy CGI, it embraces tactile, unsettling practical effects that make its bio‑tech creations feel disturbingly real. The story is deliberately disorienting, filled with twists, loops, and shifting layers of reality that keep you questioning what’s genuine and what’s part of the game. Its unconventional ending only deepens that sense of uncertainty, leaving viewers with the lingering unease Cronenberg is famous for. While this is one of his more restrained works—less extreme than his body‑horror landmarks—it’s still a compelling entry in his filmography. eXistenZ remains a clever, provocative thriller that challenges perception and rewards viewers who enjoy narratives that twist themselves inside out.
