‘The Matrix’
Hard to believe, but it’s been twenty years since the Wachowski’s sprung The Matrix onto audiences who were unaware that they were thirsting to be launched into a martial arts-infused, cyberpunk dystopia where questions of existentialism brushed up against stylish, technologically groundbreaking fight scenes. Decades later, the claustrophobia and tech-fused ennui seem sadly prescient, while the film remains a tense thrill.
