Synopsis
Steven Spielberg\'s adaptation of Philip K. Dick is also a masterclass in production design that became a self-fulfilling prophecy: gesture controls, retinal advertising, predictive analytics — all of which arrived in our lives within twenty years. The film also remains a tight, anxious thriller about determinism.
