Directed by Karyn Kusama
Starring Charlize Theron, Marton Csokas
The things I loved about the film:
The charactersI have always thought that Charlize is an intelligent actor and chooses her roles carefully. Charlize is agile, graceful (due to her 12-year ballet experiences) and uniquely beautiful in her own ways. All these qualities embodied Aeon, this futuristic character which was originally created by Peter Chung for the MTV animated series. I have not seen that but only saw the version in Anamatrix, which I have to say Aeon looks extremely sexy and alluring as an animated character.
Marton Csokas's portrayal of Bregna's leader, Trevor Goodchild, to me, exudes an unexplainable sense of charisma, confidence, a blend of evil with a touch of tenderness and goodness in him, especially towards Aeon. The chemistry between them speaks for itself and comes through in the film.
The Style and look of the film
I particularly loved the look of the film which Kusama was trying to project of a world that is 2415, 400 years ahead of our time. Thumbs up to the production designer, Andrew McAlpine for a job well done. I feel they managed to maintain a grounded sense of futuristic atmosphere throughout the film, without being too bombastic or carried away by futuristic gadgets/ technology or CGI effects that usually accompany sci-fi movies these days. This new world feels familiar yet it does not loose its sense of forwardness and advancement.
The Architecture and structural look
I was amazed by the locations they shot the film in. Patrick reminded me this point and no wonder it looks familiar to us. It was shot in Berlin and Potsdam, Germany. It brings back a little memory in me while watching the film. I absolutely adore the Bauhaus (through research) architectural style of buildings in the film - very geometrical, clean and modernistic. It perfectly mirrors Bregna, the "perfect" world which is completely sheltered from the rest of the outside world.
The Costumes
No doubt about it, the costume designer Beatrix Aruna Pasztor has created wonders with the costumes for the entire casts. It is extremely pleasing to the eyes.
The philosophy of life
It is far better to live a complete and meaningful life only ONCE than to live many lives full of lies and deceits and last but the not least? of course, it has to be
