eXistenZ

David Cronenberg / US, CA, GB, FR, 1999 / 98 min.

‘Is this your reality or mine?’, is one way of summing up the deliberately confusing plot of eXistenZ. Cronenberg’s exploration of the world of virtual reality features an SF body horror storyline with numerous ingenious twists.

Play or be played! Brilliant game designer Allegra Geller (Jennifer Jason Leigh) has developed a new game that goes further than any other game before: eXistenZ. Players plug in to an organic game pod through a hole drilled in their spinal columns and disappear into a virtual world: the boundary between reality and imagination is removed.
