Imagine a world where your genes determine what kind of profession and lifestyle you are going to have. There are no job interviews, no doubts, no dreams. A simple blood test outlines your professional path and there's nothing to discuss. Either you're a champion or you're a loser. You can design your perfect child and this perfect child can be put on the road to success. You can see that nature is full of flaws and in comparison with genetic modifications, it fails to create perfection. But what if your dreams surpassed your inborn abilities and you wanted a better life for yourself? What if there was a plan to deceive the system? Why talent and predispositions are not enough and to achieve what you dream about you need a very strong will, luck, and one or two lies? Gattaca.
Some people are really devoted to their professions. Others are equally devoted to their bosses, whether out of respect or fear of urban legends about the gloomy fate of those who dared to be disobedient. But what kind of consequences has a job in which your task is to kill fulfilling orders of your superiors? What if one such superior made you take care of his wife? What if, by killing the wrong person, you made your boss your biggest enemy? What if taking care of one crime you accidentally disturbed other more serious criminals and karma had some nasty ways to bite you back? Cult, violent, and hilarious, young Quentin Tarantino and his Pulp Fiction.
Love is a dangerous game and being too confident in any game can make you lose from your own weapon. While engaging in fleeting romances and appeasing sexual appetite have rather hedonistic values with no guarantee of longevity, playing with feelings can prove to break more than one heart. In the society, which in the past fed on gossip just as now it feeds on gossip columns in internet blogs and flashing covers of blockbuster magazines, is there a chance for true love? Can the most demoralized learn their lessons and is there any good in the most degenerated minds, who seem to have seen it all, done it all and have no boundaries to cross? A beautiful classic based on de Laclos' 18th-century novel, and a modern version of the same story. Can a villain win the purest of hearts? Enjoy.
