Demonlover
‘You didn't see anything. No one sees anything. Ever. They watch ... But they don't understand.’ Videodrome times virtuality times Guy Debord: Olivier Assayas' Demonlover is a central film of the cinema of the new millennium and the first to venture beyond David Cronenberg's television transformations into the hyperlink association chain delirium of the Internet era. Demonlover begins as a labyrinthine economic thriller about the battle between corporations for a Japanese porn internet empire and eventually mutates (as if infected by a computer virus) into a hallucinatory role-playing game that transports the deceptive dream worlds of cinema into a new era. A provocative, sensual anti-thriller in which the path behind the deceptive mirror worlds of polished, anonymised globalisation landscapes between Paris and Tokyo leads to the prison of fantasy products: Long Live the New DNA!
