Which, amusingly, required development of a customized camera to film:
> The film's SQUID scenes, which offer a point-of-view shot, required multi-faceted cameras and considerable technical preparation.[5] A full year was spent building a specialized camera that could reproduce the effect of looking through someone else's eyes.[5] Bigelow revealed that it was essentially "a stripped-down Arri that weighed much less than the smallest EYMO and yet it would take all the prime lenses.
It's an unfairly forgotten film. Much like Blade Runner, it suffers from a clunky plot but has quite smart world building.
Thanks so much, I had tried in vain to find this movie before, but it's truly forgotten! I loved it at the time, it made a serious impression on 17yo me, will see if I can get to watch it again after so many years.
Wow what a loop close. I’ve also been wondering randomly about this movie with no idea what it was called. I remember this film and it left an impression on me. I’ll even bring it up to people from time to time. Didn’t occur to me for some reason to have a GPT try and guess it.
What’s funny is that there are others out there that are thinking the same thing regarding that film.
Cheers!

I find GPT quite useful for those “tip of your tongue” type queries, and have used it to name movies and actors quite a few times.
