b'Look, the \\u201990s was a dark time, okay? A year before \\u201cThe Matrix\\u201d there was another film about identity and memory and the meaning of reality, cloaked in noir tropes and gunfire and mind-blowing revelations. It\\u2019s 1998\\u2019s \\u201cDark City\\u201d, directed by Alex Proyas and starring Rufus Sewell, Jennifer Connelly, William Hurt, and a heavy-breathing Kiefer Sutherland. This is a film that was a favorite of both Roger Ebert and European video pirates. Why is Kiefer Sutherland the only being alive who can use a syringe? Why is memory like paint?
