STRANGE DAYS

STRANGE DAYS
by Kathryn Bigelow
Country: USA
Year: 1995
Duration: 145'


The final two days of 1999: in a chaotic and violent Los Angeles, the powerful drive around in armored limousines and gangs rule the city. The fad of the moment is the Squid, a brain transmitter which lets the wearer live the experiences of others. The more violent the better. Even the former policeman Lenny Nero uses it, above all to return to the days when he was happy, but he comes upon a dangerous disc. Scripted by James Cameron, Kathryn Bigelow gives the shape of a dystopic noir to a disturbing reflection on voyeurism and virtual reality.
