Our take

Always interested in the cutting-edge, Olivier Assayas followed period adaptation Sentimental Destinies with this provocative, turn-of-the-century techno-thriller: the most experimental and elliptical of his filmmaking. A cult classic, far ahead of its time, featuring Chloë Sevigny & Gina Gershon.
