Blade Runner (Final Cut) - Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of this 1982 classic...
In Ridley Scott's vision of the future, the world here in 2019 is a huge juggernaut manipulated by advertising campaigns. Alternatives are therefore developed in the far reaches of the universe by artificial androids (called replicants). For safety reasons, they only live for four years and are not allowed to come near the earth. Four still try to ambush their creator corporation - a case for the police's Blade Runner unit. Special detective Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) is given the job, but the investigation and, above all, a relationship with a replicant confirm his doubts.
A remarkable and subsequently style-defining design, detailed features and the spherical film music characterize Ridley Scott's first Hollywood contribution and laid the foundation for the cyberpunk genre in the cinema.
Bladerunner 2049 (2017) - Directed by Denis Villenueve
The action plays out 30 years after “blade runner” Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) gave up chasing down androids and fell in love with one instead. In the interim there’s been a “blackout” – 10 days of darkness that wiped digitally stored replicant-production records, creating a blank space in humanity’s database memory. Promos for the off-world colonies still burble through the acid rain, jostling for attention amid corporation logos for Sony, Atari, Coca-Cola and Pan Am. Blade Runner 2049 swaps unicorns for wooden horses while retaining the visual grandeur that fired Scott’s film. From vast landscapes of grey rooftops and reflectors, through the rusted shells of post-industrial shelters, to the burned-ochre glow of radioactive wastelands mixed with Benjamin Wallfisch and Hans Zimmer dance around memories of Vangelis’s themes, creating a groaning, howling soundscape you'll never forget once you leave the Lumiere...
