The City and the City 评论

I had thought about reading the novel before watching this series, but I did a quick inventory of how many books I have lined up to read and decided to go ahead and watch it. Overall I found this futuristic film to be entertaining. It follows a detective trying to solve a mystery in what is truly a unique setting for a mystery, in a city that shares part of its space with a sister city, almost like in a parallel universe. And there are rumors and traces of a further utopian place accessed in this shared city-space. Yes, it is strange stuff, intriguing, but at times unsatisfying. A few of the characters were two-dimensional or without much depth to them and elements of the plot brought Orwells 1984 to mind, but considering the complexity of the story, I thought they did a credible job presenting it so I could follow it. I wont give away any of the plot points here, and that restricts my description, but I will say that there was a moment near the end where I thought they were going with an ending that would not have felt real or satisfying. But they veered slightly away from it and I felt better about it. Not one of my favorites, but such an innovative plot that I am glad Imtook the time to watch it.
