A man struggles with memories of his past, including a wife he cannot remember, in a nightmarish world with no sun.

John Murdoch (Rufus Sewell) awakens alone in a strange hotel to find that he is wanted for a series of brutal murders. The problem is that he can't remember whether he committed the murders or not. For one brief moment, he is convinced that he has gone completely mad. Murdoch seeks to unravel the twisted riddle of his identity. As he edges closer to solving the mystery, he stumbles upon a fiendish underworld controlled by a group of ominous beings collectively known as the Strangers.

The dreamlike imagery renders the film’s transitions between a hermetically sealed noir world and a Metropolis-like underground lair surprisingly fluid. With its shifting architectural styles, confusing subway lines, and constant echoes of the past, Dark City evokes a nightmare of city life; Murdoch always seems to be uncovering new crevices and hallways as he searches for answers. Much of the movie hinges on the unreliability of memories. “How do you think I could forget a thing like that?” muses Inspector Bumstead (William Hurt) when he can’t quite recall the details of what should be one of his defining characteristics. Moments like these lend the film poignancy while also serving as a critique (intentional or not) of boilerplate cinematic backstory.

Dark City steeps itself in film history. It’s at once referential to its many influences, prescient in the way it anticipates the similarly themed The Matrix (which came out a year later), and subtly influential (at least two other movies imitate Proyas’ shot of Jennifer Connelly standing wistfully on a dock). Proyas’ career has proved hit and miss, but Dark City justifies any critic’s devotion.
