1984 (1984)

Privacy can be hard to come by these days. Whether it’s nosy neighbors, intrusive family members, or the ever present eye of avaricious corporations gobbling up your personal data so they can charge you more for watermelons, the obstacles preventing modern man from a moment to himself are numerous and ubiquitous. Still, it could always be worse, after all the televisions could be watching us, right? Oh, wait. Well, anyways, things still haven’t gone full 1984 quite yet, as you can see when you watch, well, 1984, released in, wouldn’t ya know it, 1984 and directed by Michael Radford from the book by George Orwell. This bleak, brutal portrait of unrestrained totalitarianism may not be as famous as its source material, but it still contained enough rich imagery and strong acting to earn a fair few plaudits for itself. But will Nathan and Elliot find in it refuge from the insidious non-entertainment of Goldstein and his ilk? Or will they find the movie guilty of filmcrime and condemn it to room 101? Big brother may be watching you, but he’s listening to Magellans at the Movies, and you should be too!
