A review by SgtKowalski

10.0

Written by SgtKowalski on April 25, 2017

Absolutely brilliant TV theater based on the novel Simulacron 3 by the now forgotten peer of Philip K Dick--Daniel F. Galouye.

Mr. Galouye's tale is that of paranoia and false realities, and both episodes of this West German 1970's production does the concept great justice.

Certain moments are David Lynchian in their brilliance--for example the central character walking on the street and the camera showing a pile of bricks hanging from a crane shadowing his movements from above; or him talking to his boss in the man's office, and starting to thoughtfully swirl in his chair, and the boss... read the rest.
