Review of Metropia (2009) by Timo V — 23 Sep 2009

Let's see: a weird, atmospheric story about a guy who finds out that his thoughts are being monitored through a anti-dandruff shampoo. The animation style is unique, slow, and the colours are all washed-out, almost monochromatic.

The feeling is in a way a bit more like in a very high-quality game in-between videos stretched into 1h30min story. I'm combining in my head the game Dreamfall and Beneath a Steel Sky - it had this adventure gameish feel to it, somehow transferred to a feature film.

Really beautiful, well-scored film which yes does have some issues but is still an unforgettable experience.
