Alex Proya's Dark City - Science Fiction Noir

Science Fiction Noir Alex Proyas the director of Dark City takes ideas and ambience from many movies and integrates them all neatly in his visually amazing film. A cross between science fiction, film noir, dark comics, classic horror and early German films, Dark City fails to belong to any one category. This mixture is what makes the film creative and different along with its multi-layered symbolism. Mostly a science fiction story, Dark City deals with …

…Strangers” such as teeth grinding, vertical flying, and slow-paced movements also added to the horror part of the film. In conclusion, Proyas displays his ability to arrange details. Dark City contains many signs, symbols and codes that bring this unique, original film to life. The accurate semiotics Proyas assigned to “the Strangers” and city definitely aided in creating this dark themed film. I like a lot of others look forward to seeing Proyas next film.
