The Matrix

Screening on Film
Directed by Andy and Larry Wachowski.
With Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss.
US, 1999, 35mm, color, 136 min.

One of the top grossing films of 1999, Andy and Larry Wachowski’s The Matrix set a new benchmark in movie special effects. Blending classic science-fiction stories such as Alien, Soylent Green, and The Terminator with Chinese martial arts films, Japanese animation, and American comic art, and adding a touch of mysticism to the mix, the Wachowskis created an unparalleled vision of a future that seems very like our own present—with a surreal twist.
